Divine law can be summed up as the law of love which governs this universe
The laws, which govern this universe, work for good as soon as we obey them, and anything contrary to these laws doesn’t last long. That which is out of harmony with universal law contains within itself the seeds of its own destruction.
In a mature society, society’s laws would be in harmony with divine law, but we live in an immature world in which society’s law is often in flagrant disobedience to divine law.
It is up-to us to keep our lives steadfastly in harmony with divine law, which is the same for all of us. Only in so far as we remain in harmony with divine law do good things come to us.
The good in every human life always makes it possible for us to obey universal laws. We do have free will about all this, and therefore how soon we obey and thereby find harmony, both within ourselves and within our world, is up to us.
If your life is in harmony with your part in the Life pattern, and if you are obedient to the laws, which govern this universe, then life is full and life is good but life is nevermore overcrowded. If it is overcrowded, then you are doing more than is right for you to do - more than is your job to do in the total scheme of things.
This is the way of peace - overcome evil with good, and falsehood with truth, and hatred with love. The Golden Rule would do equally well. These are laws governing human conduct, which apply as rigidly as the law of gravity.
When we disregard the unchanging laws of human conduct, chaos results. Through obedience to these laws this world of ours will enter a period of peace and richness of life beyond our fondest dreams.
Trust the Law of Love. Since the universe operates in accordance with the Law of Love, how could you trust anything else?
The lesson of the way of love is that evil can only be overcome by good. We don’t need to reach out and tear down the things that are evil because nothing, which is contrary to the law of love, can endure.
