The Unity of Law

Everything that God created was good, including man and woman. Evil wasn't inherent in the creation. However, Law is inherent in creation. The creation is governed by natural law, and man is governed by moral laws. This is how God chose to manifest His rule over His creation: by Law. Law established the order and purpose of the Universe. The breaking of Law is the repudiation of the order and purpose established by Law. When Adam and Eve sinned by their disobedience, they broke the law and enabled evil. The evil principle germinated with their disobedience and began to grow and multiply in the Universe. Like a virus that infects a computer's operating system, the knowledge of evil spread in the human race until it brought about death. God's law is one. There is a continuity between moral laws and natural laws. When Adam and Eve broke the moral law, the unity of God's laws was broken, and nature was thrown into disorder as well.
