Divine Law is established by pedagogical intelligence, which refers to the instructional and educational wisdom inherent in biblical teachings. It is not merely about what the ears hear in a literal sense, but rather about the profound ability of the ears to hear, process, and then teach what is essential and important. This natural genius of the ear enables the effective transmission of crucial knowledge and wisdom to the next generation, ensuring that valuable lessons are passed down. Through divine law each subsequent generation makes yet more room for God to act in ever-increasing measure.
This entire process is facilitated by a strong commitment to wisdom of the ages having been saturated at a fundamental level through the law of Adam and passed on the subsequent generations from Moses to Peter to John. The principles of divine law are not only learned but also lived, providing a tangible model for others to follow and emulate. In this comprehensive way, Divine Law acts as a guiding beacon, illuminating the path to righteousness and moral integrity. It shapes the character of individuals and communities, encouraging a life of virtue and ethical conduct, thereby fostering an environment of moral excellence.
