The world's morality is loving PEOPLE as the whole story. Biblical morality is loving GOD first, with loving people as an expression of that. Both dangers: lowering the standard of holiness, or forgetting grace and living in defeat.

Exactly What's Wrong With Everyone's Morality: The Mark Series pt 49 (12_28-34) 01:05:56 – 01:07:59

The moral error the world makes and the balanced Christian response

The world's morality in every movie and cultural message: love people. Biblical morality: love GOD first, love people as an expression of that. This distinction is "almost completely non-existent today in modern philanthropy and humanism." Two dangers: (1) Lowering the standard of holiness by making excuses for sin — don't do this; (2) Forgetting God's grace and walking in defeat — don't do this either. The healthy Christian: daily reaching for love toward God and others, humbly aware of failings, grateful for grace, and genuinely pleasant to be around because holiness flows from love not legalism.
