WHAT IS ETHICS?

www.Britannica.Com
Ethics, also called MORAL PHILOSOPHY, the
DISCIPLINE concerned with what is morally
good and bad and morally right and wrong.
The term is also applied to any system or
theory of MORAL VALUES OR PRINCIPLES.
Ethics deals with such questions at all levels.
Its subject consists of the fundamental
issues of PRACTICAL DECISION MAKING,
and its major concerns include the nature of
ultimate value and the standards by which
HUMAN ACTIONS CAN BE JUDGED RIGHT
OR WRONG
 WHAT IS CHRISTIAN ETHICS?

Christian ethics is GUIDED by God’s

REVELATION IN SCRIPTURE above other
systems of thought as it seeks to love God
and neighbor in every moral and ethical
issue.
 The HIGHEST ETHICAL duty of a Christian is
the same as the GREATEST
COMMANDMENT:
LOVE GOD AND LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR.
MAT.22:36-39
Scripture is the Christian authority for ethics,
just as it is for theology. This is because God
is our ultimate authority and standard, for he
himself is goodness..
 While Christians know God’s
character through READING
SCRIPTURE, unbelievers are able to
partially and imperfectly understand
what is good through the created
order and their consciences
 CHRISTIAN ETHICS AND
SCRIPTURE
Scripture must remain the AUTHORITY for any
Christian ethical endeavor. Finally, while there
are many issues today that the Bible does not
speak directly to,
there are biblical principles that can be RELIED
upon to make an informed moral judgment.
A person’s HIGHEST ETHICAL DUTY is to love
God with all of their heart, mind, soul, and
strength.
Their SECOND HIGHEST ETHICAL DUTY is to
love their neighbor as themselves.
For a Christian, FULFILLING these moral
obligations takes place in obedience to the
LAW OF CHRIST AND SUBMISSION to the
teachings of God’s Word
 WHAT IS THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF
UNDERSTANDING CHRISTIAN ETHICS
The ultimate goal is to GLORIFY GOD in
everything that is said, done, thought, and
felt.
1COR.10:31|COL.3:23
 We must obey every word of God
because every word he gives us FLOWS FROM HIS CHARACTER, and
his character is
INFINITE AND ABSOLUTE MORAL PERFECTION
he does not consult anything other than
his own nature when he issues commands and
moral rules
God’s commands are found in Scripture, the
Bible is our authority for ethics.
“THAT’S WHY STUDYING THE BIBLE IS VERY NECESSARY”
- Bro Seph
 HOW TO EXPRESS ETHICS
• In a world that is in rebellion against God, those
who uphold God’s moral standards will
have to shine light into darkness and will
have to speak against sinful practices that may
be widely accepted in society.
(but in a proper way)
