Excerpt from the book Mediations on Christian Dogma, Volume II - The Eternal Law, as described, is not a set of decreed statutes but the supreme, unchanging exemplar of all created life existing eternally in God's mind, embodying His infinite wisdom and moral perfection as the model for all creatures. It is God Himself, reflected in the beauty, harmony, and adaptability of creation, serving as the source of all laws—natural, moral, and human—guiding them through divine reason, conscience, and revelation. Human laws derive their justice and authority from their conformity to this Eternal Law, and straying from it leads to unintended violations of secondary laws, resulting in societal and personal failures. Thus, aligning with God's will, as exemplified by Jesus Christ, ensures true guidance in all aspects of life.
