Christian duty

Believer's moral charge

Christian duty refers to moral obligations believed to arise from Christian faith—responsibilities toward God, fellow believers, and humanity at large.

These include acts of charity, worship, evangelism, and moral conduct.

The phrase often appears in contexts urging action: She felt it was her Christian duty to help the homeless.

It can carry earnest or ironic weight depending on speaker and context.
