Revealed law is best described as which statement?

• A. Law discovered by reason
• B. God's law revealed by him in Old Testament and the New Testament
• C. Civil codes
• D. A political constitution

Answer: (B)

Revealed law means God's law that He discloses to humanity through Scripture. In theology, it is the set of divine commands and guidance made known by God, most clearly in the Old Testament and the New Testament. This is different from what we can learn through reason alone—natural law—which is law discovered by human intellect rather than by revelation. It also differs from civil codes or a political constitution, which are human-made systems of law for governing societies, not divine commands. Since revealed law specifically refers to what God has revealed in Scripture, the statement that best captures it is that God’s law is revealed by Him in the Old and New Testaments.
