Hi, need to submit a 2000 words essay on the topic Moral Absolutes: Fact or Fiction.

This means that regardless of the context and condition with which the person doing the act may find himself/herself in, the value of the act – right or wrong, good or bad- remains the same. Christians accept these two conceptions of moral absolutes as a real and authentic guide as they address moral dilemmas in the real world. In what way?

&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp. Christians view of rightness or wrongness of an act flows from the immutable nature of God. In this regard, it is not arbitrary as it is in accord with&nbsp. God’s will which is all good and anchored on the unchanging essence of God, “I the Lord change not”. “there is no shadow of change with God”&nbsp. and the psalmist proclaims “ You are the same”.&nbsp. Being such, the laws given by God are in accord with His own attributes. As such, the Scripture tells us “Be holy as I am Holy”. Jesus himself tells us “ Be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.”&nbsp. And in 1John 4:16 we are told that “God is Love”, therefore, “Love your neighbor as yourself”.&nbsp. Since “The way in which we can be sure we are in union with him (Christ) is for the man who claims to abide in him to conduct himself as he did”

&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp. In this regard, the moral laws that are followed by Christians in the light of their faith in God have transformed in such a way that it becomes humanity’s response to God’s call to life.&nbsp. Jesus has concretely presented to all human beings the reality of the immutable goodness and love of God. His whole life on earth is a testimony of this transformation.&nbsp. In the Gospels, it has been shown that Jesus has acted on what he preached. He has given us the law of love not just by commanding us to love one another but by showing us concrete human deeds of love like pardoning, showing compassion, refraining from condemning and judging others even to the point of giving up His life for us.
