I came across this article on the importance of Genesis 1 in giving society its 'moral' compass (like that will save anyone).
I offered this comment:
Moral standards are indicative of people's understanding of what it is to be human...or as we say, to be truly in God's image. But also let's remember that following Jesus of Nazareth is not to join a morality club. It is it seek to conform to him, the exemplar of true humanity: true imageness of God. It is also about looking forward to being in the unalloyed presence of God forever in his new creation.
It was not published!
It seems that Christian faith has been reduced to moralising for too many people. But first the gospel. Behaviour follows redemption.
