God's Law

God's law is not a list of rules designed to take away our freedom. It is a gift of God's love that teaches us how to live, choose what is good, and grow closer to Him.

In this course, you'll discover how God guides us through His moral law, the natural law written on our hearts, the Ten Commandments, and the teachings of Jesus Christ. You'll also learn how to form your conscience, make wise decisions, and live the two greatest commandments: loving God and loving your neighbor.

In this course, you'll learn:

  • Why God gives us His law and how it leads us to true happiness.
  • The difference between natural law and God's revealed divine law.
  • How free will and conscience help us make moral choices.
  • Why our conscience must be formed through prayer, Scripture, the Church, and the sacraments.
  • What Jesus meant when He taught the two greatest commandments.
  • Practical ways to love God above all things and love your neighbor each day.
  • How to examine your choices in light of God's truth and grow in virtue.


By the end of this course, you'll understand that God's law is not about taking away your freedom—it is about helping you become the person God created you to be.
