WLC 95: Of what use is the moral law to all men?

Answer: The moral law is of use to all men, to inform them of the holy nature and will of God1, and of their duty, binding them to walk accordingly2; to convince them of their disability to keep it, and of the sinful pollution of their nature, hearts, and lives3; to humble them in the sense of their sin and misery4, and thereby help them to a clearer sight of the need they have of Christ5, and of the perfection of his obedience.6
