When Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law, since they show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness. (Romans 2:14–15, NIV 1984).
My Musings – Perhaps the greatest argument ever that God’s laws are a never changing standard of morality that transcends all other social mores. That the basic tenets of this morality are cross-culturally written on the hearts of people around the world makes it hard to ignore. “Hear me, you who know what is right, you people who have my law in your hearts.” (Isaiah 51:7, NIV 1984).
My Advice – But what if people do not “do by nature things required by the law?” What if they refuse to hear and do not do the things required even though in their consciences, they “know what is right?” They are “a rebellious people. They have eyes to see but do not see and ears to hear but do not hear.” (Ezekiel 12:2, NIV 1984). A people in need of a Savior. That, at one time or another, has been all of us. We must “seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near.” (Isaiah 55:6, NIV 1984). We will once again, by a new “nature [do the] things required by the law.”
