Christianity and Morality

 

It's not enough to say that Christianity is the right religion because it gives expression to proper morality (human ethical behavior).  Many religions, to one degree or another, may do this.  Nor is it correct to say that among the religions which preach ethical behavior, that only Christianity provides a valid basis for it, and the power to express it.  This is true, but this is a dangerous misconception of our religious life.  

 

No, the central facts of the Christian Religion are that our ethics are not the issue.  Our lack of ethics is the issue.  Jesus Christ's sacrifice for our sins made once on the Cross forgives our lack of ethics -- every day.
