Questions 81-152: The moral law and Christian duty

#Overview

A guided reference for teaching the law rather than a flat wall of questions.

The catechism's moral-law section, structured so readers can move through the Ten Commandments and their duties in smaller groups.

#Moral law and duty

This cluster arranges the Ten Commandments for careful study and keeps the law's duties toward God and neighbor easy to browse.

#Subcluster guide

Move through the first table, the second table, and then the reasons annexed so the law remains practical and doctrinal at the same time.

#Study note

This section belongs close to church-order material because it teaches obedience in a way that can actually be used.

#Key topics

• Ten Commandments

These topics mark the doctrinal and navigational center of the page ¹.

#Study path

The Larger Catechism is organized here as a guided route through doctrine, application, and practical obedience. The cluster pages are intentionally bite-sized so learners can move in stages ¹.

#How to use the clusters

Start with the broad cluster, then move into the child cluster that matches your topic. The wiki preserves the catechism's order while making navigation less overwhelming.
