For when Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to themselves, in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts. Romans 2:14-15
God gives everyone a moral sense of right and wrong. Before we ever see a rule of conduct, we have that sense within us. Laws help guide our moral conduct, but some principles of conduct are so obvious we should really never need a law in front of us. Heard an old song called "Smoking in the boy's room." The chorus says, "Teacher, don't you fill me up with your rules. Everyone knows smokin' ain't allowed in school." Let's look to our moral compass to help us make the right choices always: rules or no rules
