Episode notes

In the first episode, we looked at the Moral Law — that inner sense of right and wrong every person already knows. This episode asks the next question: what kind of reality stands behind that law?

A blind force like gravity does not care whether we keep our word. The Moral Law does. It presses on us as an “ought.” That points not to an impersonal It, but to a personal You — a God to whom we are accountable.

Drawing on C.S. Lewis, this short talk shows why the law written on the heart is one of the strongest everyday clues that God is there, and why honesty about that law is often where faith begins.

Scripture: Romans 2:14–15 Practice this week: Set aside five quiet minutes. In silence, acknowledge the God behind the good you already know and the standard you keep breaking.

Suggested reading: C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity, Book 1, chapters 3–5.
