TOPIC 1 CHRISTIAN ETHICS

1.1 CHRISTIAN ETHIC


Christian ethic is the study of ethical behavior under God and Jesus Christ. Christian ethics is the
study of ethical conduct on the assumption that God has shown us through Jesus Christ the way
of salvation. By salvation we do not mean only our own individual life or soul, but also humanity
as a whole in the earthly history and future. Christian ethics, therefore, differs from all other
ethical systems in that we, are as far as we are Christians, looking for an unalterable, eternally
valid law.

This search has to start with the word of God as it was taught by Jesus Christ. .to in the Bible and
New Testament Therefore, Christians seek first the foundation, the main principle for human
action, this is what we may be allowed to call God.

From the law of God, which we learn from the Bible, we derive rules for our daily life for our
own salvation. From the same law of God Christians derive also political and social rules to
guide humanity and the world.

Human behavior must therefore be based on God`s objectives with humanity and this world.
Christian ethics means that we must try to find the ways of God and to act accordingly. Christian
ethics therefore is not so much a fixed set of rules, but a way of interpretation of what
fundamentally is common to all mankind.
