Bible as a Reliable Foundation for Christian Morality
As a Christian, I believe that the bible is the ultimate truth. The
bible is basically a set of rules as to how we live our everyday
lives. This is the point I will highlight in this essay and I will
describe how it affects us as humans. But what is morality? Morality
is the way in which people live their lives and the way we act towards
other people. These are set out as rules in the bible and Christians
follow this as a basis for living.
In the Bible, it talks about the different tasks set by God to
different people such as Abraham, Moses and Noah. They all obeyed gods
rules and regulations and even though they seemed impossible at the
beginning, they turned out good in the end. All these things have a
great effect on the way we live our lives. Christians take great
importance to these stories, as they show us how to trust God and his
decisions he has for us.
In the New Testament, it mainly talks about the birth of Jesus, his
miracles and stories and his death. These are probably the most
important passages in the bible to read for Christians as they show us
the way to live our lives and how to act to other people correctly. In
the bible it tells us to live our lives as Jesus would have and to do
what he did. To the non-believer this sounds completely impossible.
They might think, how are we supposed to help the blind see, to raise
the dead? Its impossible to live like Jesus. But what it actually
means is to follow the main principals Jesus has shown us and to be
kind and loving to other people. Jesus tells us stories which link to
everyday life as it was then, and each story has a moral at the end of
