Meaning of Christian ethics

Answer Text:
Introduction to Christian ethics:
Meaning of Christian ethics:
The word ethics comes from a Greek term ‘Ethikos’ which means custom, or conduct. Ethics hence is the systematic study of human actions and behaviour. We use ethics to judge, determine and assess the right and wrong of human
behaviour. Ethics is related to morals. Morals refer to human character, which is the inclination to behave in one- way or another. Ethics is the study of morals and they determine and influence personal and societal behaviour. We can therefore conclude that ethics is the study of moral life and Christian ethics is the study
of moral life from a Christian point of view.
