How do we know the law of God is more than the Ten Commandments?

Answered in 1 source

The law of God is broader than the Ten Commandments, as it applies universally to all men, not just those to whom the commandments were directly given.

While many people limit the law of God to the Ten Commandments, the reality is that God's law is much broader and encompasses all of humanity. The Ten Commandments were given specifically to the Jews; however, God's moral law is written on the hearts of all people, which means that Gentiles, too, are accountable and stand condemned. Even without the knowledge of these commandments, Paul argues that all men are under sin, thus emphasizing the universal scope of God's law. It serves to reveal our sin and drive us to Christ for redemption, affirming that God's law does not change and remains just and good.
