So there are great principles of righteousness to control the life of all intelligent beings, and upon conformity to these principles the well-being of the universe depends.
To man in Eden Christ made known the precepts of the law "when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy." Job 38:7.
The mission of Christ on earth was
not to destroy the law,
but by His grace to bring man
back to obedience to its precepts."
E.G.W.
