This chapter will explore the biblical way of looking at ethics. The source of our ethics is revealed in the exodus story and Moses. We will examine the call story and the covenant that was created with Yahweh at Mount Sinai. This revelation illustrates Gods love for us and the relationship that is created.
In short, the chapter will explore three key points.
1) Gods name is revealed to humanity.
2) The call stories of the prophets. Moses, Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel, are
explored.
3) The parts of the covenant are explored as well as the relationship between God
and humanity.
“Unto this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the LORD, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law and commandment which the LORD commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel; / With whom the LORD had made a covenant, and charged them, saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them: / But the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and a stretched out arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye do sacrifice.”
“All who call on God in true faith, earnestly from the heart, will certainly be heard, and will receive what they have asked and desired, although not in the hour or in the measure, or the very thing which they ask. Yet they will obtain something greater and more glorious than they had dared to ask.”
Martin Luther

As much as ethics are told to us and enforced onto us from religion and government I personally believe while you are born with some ethics, and rasied with some ethics it is ultimately your choice as to what your said way of going about this big thing we call a world is.
