4. God reveals His moral law to our conscience and in Scripture.

Personal(Micheal.T.Bee) Reflections:

We often hear follow the Spirit - not law. But, the Law isn't bad. It is their for our good.

Romans passage: it points us to Christ. Our inability to follow the law informs us of our need for something outside ourselves to live up to/fulfill the law.
