Youcat commented through CCC – Question n. 333 – Part I.
(Youcat answer) If people are to do
good and avoid evil, certainty about what is good or evil must be inscribed
within them. In fact there is such a moral law that is, so to speak, “natural”
to men and can be known in principle by every person by reason.
A
deepening through CCC
(CCC 1949) Called
to beatitude but wounded by sin, man stands in need of salvation from God.
Divine help comes to him in Christ through the law that guides him and the
grace that sustains him: Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;
for God is at work in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure (Phil
2:12-13).
Reflecting
and meditating
(Youcat comment) The natural
moral law is valid for everyone. It tells men what fundamental rights and
duties they have and thus forms the real foundation for life together in the
family, in society, and in the State. Because our natural knowledge is often
troubled by sin and human weakness, a person needs God’s help and his
Revelation in order to stay on the right path.
(CCC
Comment)
(CCC 1950) The moral law is the work of
divine Wisdom. Its biblical meaning can be defined as fatherly instruction,
God's pedagogy. It prescribes for man the ways, the rules of conduct that lead
to the promised beatitude; it proscribes the ways of evil which turn him away
from God and his love. It is at once firm in its precepts and, in its promises,
worthy of love. (CCC 1975) According to Scripture the Law is a fatherly
instruction by God which prescribes for man the ways that lead to the promised
beatitude, and proscribes the ways of evil.
