Obedience as Humanity’s “Naturally Right” Condition
How natural law points us towards the kingdom that’s yet to come
“The kingdom or household of God [is] a polity structured by virtues in accordance with God's natural law, in which human beings already live to some extent, and will live eschatologically, in a restored state of natural goodness. … Freedom is compatible with obedience towards God and Christ because obedience … is human beings’ ‘natural,’ in the sense of ‘naturally right,’ condition."
