The Relationship Between Biblical Teaching and Ethical Behaviour

The Relationship Between Biblical Teaching and Ethical Behaviour

All Christians share the belief that the Bible is divinely inspired.

We all turn to it to be challenged and inspired by it, and to expose

ourselves to the divine perspective. For the church the Bible is

normative. That is to say the church places itself under the authority

of scripture. The Biblical definition of ethics is connected with

doctrine and they are not offered apart from a set of guidelines and

teachings of the Bible.

Biblical teaching is the study of good behaviour, motivation, and

attitude in light of Jesus Christ and biblical revelation. The

ultimate standard of Christian conduct is Christ Himself. The goal of

a Christian in their thinking and in their behaviour is to be come

For example l would disagree with the biblical rules on abortion

because l think that abortion should take place in some circumstances

i.e. due to rape as a result the baby might not be wanted or teenage

pregnancy because most teenagers are not ready to become teenage

parents.

As l mentioned above that both ethical behaviour and biblical teaching

establish laws that dictate human behaviour. It is common for the

social laws to conflict with the biblical teaching laws. Because the

way Christians and society appeal to different authorities for what is

right and wrong. Overall they both have similarities and differences

to how a person illustrate declare good behaviour.
