A poignant thought in today’s malaise is that we are trained to be relativists but are expected to act ethical. Our culture condemns those that assign any moral boundaries or state absolutes while it derides the established boundaries and decries the lack of ethics that results in the chaos in the world.
The Apostle Paul pointed this reality out to the Roman church, “When outsiders who have never heard of God’s law follow it more or less by instinct, they confirm its truth by their obedience. They show that God’s law is not something alien, imposed on us from without, but woven into the very fabric of our creation. There is something deep within them that echoes God’s yes and no, right and wrong.”
The reality is that God made humanity in His image and it is the reflection of that image that expresses the moral nature of God, defining the “Absolutes” of His judgment. The only true relative issue is our relationship to the Living God and our reflection of His moral nature. This will result in an absolute outcome!
