The Moral Law – Our First Clue to God
AI
In the very first episode of Rooted, we begin where faith often starts — with something every human being already knows: the inner sense of right and wrong. Drawing from C.S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity, this short talk explores the Moral Law as a universal reality that points beyond ourselves to a higher reality and a personal God. You’ll discover why this inner “ought” is not just instinct or social convention, why we all make excuses when we break it, and how this everyday experience is one of the strongest clues we have that there is a God to whom we are accountable. Key Topics: The reality of the Moral Law and how we all recognize it. Why it cannot be reduced to instincts or cultural rules. The first step toward faith: acknowledging the standard we know but often fail to keep. Scripture: Romans 2:14-15 Practical Step: Each night this week, pause for one minute and honestly ask yourself: “Where did I choose against what I knew was right today?” (Just one honest sentence in your mind or on your phone.) Suggested Reading: C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity, Book 1, Chapter 1 (short and very accessible). Whether you’re exploring the faith or seeking to go deeper, this foundational episode sets the tone for the entire Rooted series. Listen, reflect, and take the first small step toward a life firmly rooted in God. Length: ~7 minutes Perfect for busy young adults who want short, meaningful formation content.
