1689 CONFESSION, CH. 19, "THE LAW OF GOD": 
PARAGRAPH 5: THE OBLIGATION OF THE MORAL LAW.

SUMMARY (Gerstner): The moral law is perpetually binding on everyone, and the gospel, so far from cancelling that obligation, actually confirms it. The moral law has had its additions but never its subtractions, and never shall. Ceremonial and judicial laws may come and go, but the moral law, according to the Confession, abides FOREVER.

THE INHERENT OBLIGATION OF THE LAW OF GOD.
A. Its Permanent Duration.

  1. The Moral Law is For All Times

B. Its Universal Scope for All People.

  1. The Law's Goodness Commands Obedience.
  2. God Commands Obedience.

C. Its Heightened Strength in the New Covenant.

  1. The Heart of Flesh Strengthens the Commands for Obedience.
  2. Gratitude Strengthens the Commands for Obedience.
  3. The Law is Fulfilled and Established in the New Covenant.
