the Ten Commandments are the very absolute and everlasting rule of true righteousness and all virtues, set down for all places, men, and ages, to frame themselves by.

The cross makes no sense apart from the law. The cross with out the law is like a jig-saw puzzle with the key piece missing. The evangelical prophet Isaiah said, "He [Christ] will magnify the law and make it honorable" (Isa. 42: 21). Christ magnified the law by His perfect life and in His death on the cross.

there is a general connection between the extent to which a society as a whole obeys God's absolute moral standard and the degree to which they enjoy His blessings. There is no other true standard of right and wrong, and there fore there is no other way to live.
