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.
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.
