I made this recording while listening to a group of apologists ask question of Dr. William Lane Craig regarding his new book and theological questions in general.
This recording ties together the comprehension of natural law applicable to humanity, our moral agency and capacity to fabricate our own morality, and what makes us uniquely human.
These things tie us together with something greater than our created, animalistic natures. What makes us human is our moral agency. When we reject the objective moral law, we become more animalistic and less human. Yet when we allow ourselves to sense and discover the natural law order for humanity, we become more human and something greater.
We can only sense and discover this if it is something apart from us. Goodness, morality, is God, and thus our sense of morality is our sense of God. When He communicates His nature to us, we hear the natural law order, the objective morality we can sense.
I also discuss how if we stick to animalistic ways, rejecting morality, we will follow natural law outcomes, thus we lose our humanity. When God sent Jesus, He provided us the perfect example of Himself in humanity, and showed us His love through His sacrifice and was raised from the dead to prove He is God. So we can fully detect Him through the natural law order and the sacrifice of Jesus, thus coming to salvation.
Obedience to God is adherence to objective morality in line with the example of Jesus. Our salvation comes from faith in Jesus and His work to die in our place. When we pursue morality, living righteously, we become something greater and as we seek God with all our heart, mind, and soul, He reveals Himself more to us.
Thus we choose between living a natural law biologically set life, disregarding our sense of God, and applying our intelligence to disrupt what would otherwise naturally be our end: death.
Or, we choose to follow our sense of God, live aligned with objective morality (God being the goodness we sense), and accept Jesus’ sacrifice, making us into better humans and bringing us to salvation and God’s promise: eternal life.
