Three Law Systems

God has given to mankind three distinct law systems. The first was given to one couple—Adam and Eve. (See Genesis 1:28; 2:16-17.) The second law system was given to one nation—Israel.(See Exodus 20.)

The third law system was given to all nations—the commands of Christ. (See Matthew 28:19-20.)

All three are based on loving God and loving one another.
