When Was The Law Of God Given?
“Don’t they know any better?” Have you ever asked yourself this question when you read or heard about women aborting their own unborn flesh and blood? Or, about men having sexual relations with men, or women with women? Don’t they know any better than to do such things? Their gross sins are not due to the fact that they did not have the law of God to teach them any better. For they did have it! The law of God has been around for a long time. When was it given? Let God tell you in his Word.
Colossians 3:9, 10 says, “You have stripped off the old man with his evil deeds, and have clothed yourselves with the new man who is being renewed in a precise knowledge according to the likeness of Him who created him.” When God created Adam and Eve, he created them in his own image, which included having a perfect knowledge of his law written in their hearts. We Christians are being renewed in that knowledge.
In Romans 2:15 God says, “They (the Gentiles, unbelievers) are such ones as who demonstrate the practical proof of the law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying in support of it, and their thoughts going back and forth between accusing or even defending them.” God says that even the unbelievers in the world show that the demands of his law are written in their hearts.
And Exodus 34:28 says, “And he (the Lord) wrote upon the tablets the words of the covenant – the Ten Commandments.” Since mankind’s natural knowledge of God’s law was darkened by sin, God gave his law a second time, when he wrote it down, first in stone for the Israelites, and then in the Bible for us all.
so when was the law of God given? It was given the first time at creation when God wrote his law in the hearts of mankind. It was later given a second time when God wrote it down, which we have today in the Bible.
