Biblical Personal Ethics is a thoughtful, Spirit-led, Bible-based examination of the four core ethical standards of Godly living – as they are each taught in both the Old Testament and the New Testament. Their total relevance and liberating applications in our own times and places are affirmed and responsibly engaged. Multiple essential ties between Bible-based ethics and theology are openly embraced. After all, we each reveal our true beliefs by our behavior. Therefore, every one of Biblical teachings in this course is directly beneficial for both each student’s personal growth in the Living God’s grace and also for discipling others.
