Knowledge of God and God's law 1

All religions teach some of the same things. Even though different religions each have a different emphasis and different ways of teaching moral lessons, all religions, with a few notable exceptions such as Satanism, teach the same basic concepts. 

We can find the same teachings of Jesus or Buddha or Muhammad(PBUH) in all the different relgions in the world.

This is called the perennial philosophy.

What does it say that there is a consensus among religions about what is right conduct and what is wrong or sinful?  It says that there is an innate sense of right and wrong in the human heart and mind.  Human beings all have in their hearts a clear sense of right and wrong.  We have a moral sense that we are born with that is the same for all people.

 

We are in the current time when the people of God can be seen not by their religious views but by their conduct that reflects what is in their hearts. If we want to be believers, if we want to be faithful to God, we have to look into our hearts and find truth and righteousness and live it in our lives.  This is what will make us "saved" or make us "believers".

 

The Bible verse that states this most clearly is Jeremiah 31:33: "This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the LORD: I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.'"

 

Also Hebrews 8:10: This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

 

Also read Hebrews 10:16: "This is the new covenant I will make with my people on that day, says the LORD: I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds."

 

So the law looks the same to us all in our hearts because God put it there for us to know.
