Part 2/13:
The discussion begins by grounding the concept of law in biblical tradition. Dr. Steve emphasizes that, biblically, law isn't merely an arbitrary set of commands but a reflection of divine promises and provisions. Laws in this context are calls to trust in God's sovereignty—commands to refrain from stealing, adultery, or worshiping false gods are ultimately rooted in the trust that God provides and cares for human needs. These laws serve as moral scaffolds that establish personal and social order, calling individuals to trust in divine provisions rather than material or worldly solutions.
