This introduction to Christian ethics explores the foundational principles of biblical morality. The lesson examines three categories of ethics: descriptive, normative, and meta-ethics, with particular focus on understanding how Christians should approach ethical questions. Christian ethics differs fundamentally from secular philosophy because believers possess Scripture as their authoritative source. The study demonstrates that ethical behavior flows from identity in Christ rather than mere rule-following. This introduction to Christian ethics establishes that truly good works require proper motivation, right purpose, and alignment with God's glory. Believers must understand that their moral capacity stems from union with Christ, making them capable of acts that please God. The lesson clarifies that while unbelievers may perform outwardly beneficial actions, these cannot be truly good without the right motivation and purpose centered on glorifying God. This comprehensive introduction to Christian ethics lays the groundwork for examining specific ethical issues through a biblical lens, emphasizing that all Christian conduct must flow from a heart transformed by faith and directed toward God's glory.
