As a NCT institution, Providence Theological Institute understands the law of God in the following manner: the two greatest commandments - love of God and neighbor (Matt. 22:36-40) - constitute God's absolute or innate law, which is righteous, unchanging, and instinctively known by man (Rom. 2:14-15) created in God's image (Gen. 1:27), and of which each system of covenantal law is a temporary, historical outworking (Heb. 7:12) in accordance with God's eternal purpose (Eph. 1:11; 3:11; 2 Tim. 1:9). |
