A non Christian approach to
ethics will collect and analyze
human opinions about morally
right and wrong decisions and
try to reason to some
conclusions but a Christian
approach takes into account God
and the Bible.
We believe as Christians that
God is in charge of the
universe, he is the one who is
sovereign over our lives and he
has the authority to tell us
what is right and wrong.
And so a Christian approach to
ethics takes into account God in
his presence but also his words
to us in the Bible because there
he has told us about ethical
decisions, about moral right and
wrong.
And so a Christian approach to
ethics comes with the authority
of God rather than just merely
human opinion.
In addition a Christian approach
to ethics realizes that it isn't
just words from God and then we
obey them.
It's also, in daily activities,
we are to live our lives in the
presence of God, aware of his
presence with us and aware that
we are accountable to him and we
should seek to please him and
all that we do day by day.
That's a completely different
concept than a secular approach
to ethics.
