Overview

Even though a Christian ethicist shares moral commitments with other ethical approaches (for example, justice, fairness, health, and so on), Christian ethics has distinctive moral imperatives based upon the unique doctrinal beliefs of Creation, Covenant, Commands, Christ, and the Church. The primary burden of Christina ethics is to be faithful to these beliefs and to sustain and perpetuate the great legacy of Christian that traces its origins back 4000 years ago to Abraham and Sarah. For instance, Christian ethics not only clarifies why the love of our neighbor is an obligation, it explains why we must love the unlovable and even the enemy. It also teaches, for example, that though the Just War principles may have relative value, the real Christian hope for the end of wars lies in the peacemakers and the meek of the earth. Finally, ultimate aim of Christian ethics is to equip the people of God to believe and act in ways that witness of and enact in their lives the redemptive power of the triune God to transform the world into its created purpose of righteousness and peace.
