A Biblical Worldview (Part 6)
"What is Right and Wrong"

Today we will look at the issue of “What is right and wrong?”
Let’s see how Scripture directs us in this interesting question.
What Is Right and Wrong?

Can this question really be answered? Some people would
say “no.” They would say that the answer must be based on
someone’s personal opinion. Since people have different
opinions, and since opinions often change with time, some
do not believe a set rule of right and wrong can exist.
However, in recognition of who God is, and who we are as His
creation, we can understand a lot about this issue:
➢ God is the Source of all truth (Ps. 31:5).
➢ God Himself (His character) is the standard for what is good
and right (Deut. 32:4).
➢ God has revealed to us what is right and wrong in the Bible
(Ps. 19:7-11; John 17:17).
➢ We have a perfect picture of what is good, right and loving
in the person of Jesus Christ (John 1:14; 12:35-36).

Absolute Truth
Though people’s opinions may change, God’s law does not.
He is truly unchangeable. What He said was good and holy
2,000 years ago, is still good and holy today. The principles of
truth He has given apply to every nation, culture, and person
today, just as it has throughout all history. Our basis for truth
is the absolute truth of God’s Word (Matt. 24:35).
The Impact of Moral Truth within Our Worldview
From understanding what a marriage should look like to
grasping the right way to show love, we must recognize that
God is the standard and judge of all morality. We must not be
swayed by popular opinion or the changing views of those
around us. God has given us the answers as to what is right
and wrong in His Word, and our focus should be to stand by
them and make them a part of our lives (John 8:31-32)!
