Christianity is based on Jesus’ teachings as well as the Bible. As such, it lays great emphasis on living ethically and promoting social justice. This article deals with two main areas of Christian ethics: justice, mercy, and compassion principles in addressing social problems; and environmental stewardship from a Christian viewpoint towards taking care of creation.
Christian Social Morality: Principles of Justice, Mercy, and CompassionChristian social ethics are rooted in the biblical command to love God with all one’s heart, soul, mind, and strength; and to love one’s neighbor as oneself. This principle forms the basis for how Christians should respond to injustices within their communities or around the world.
Principles Of Social Justice:Dignity Of Every Human Being: Christianity preaches that every person is created in God’s image and hence has inherent worth. According to this belief system, human rights should be respected universally by all people without considering their socio-economic status or any other background information about them.
