In Biblical Ethics Rev. Paul Johansson provides believers with a biblical moral compass enabling them to establish godly standards in every area of their lives. This is not just a list of "do's and "don'ts" but principles and guidelines for living, based on the moral example and teachings of Jesus. As we work to please God in our choices, we are both led and empowered by the Holy Spirit. The ethics of the New Testament focus more on our attitudes and the motives out of which godly actions can come. This course establishes a biblical framework from which the student is able to draw scriptural answers and conclusions based on scripture. Sometimes these conclusions and the application to current issues may run contrary to societal norms, which is part of being salt and light in the world. In a day and time where "anything goes" and society is losing its way, Rev. Paul offers a refreshingly firm, clear, foundation for moral decisions and how to live.
