Christian principles

Faith-based moral guidelines

Christian principles are the moral and ethical teachings derived from Christianity, particularly the life and words of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Bible.

These typically include love for God and neighbor, forgiveness, honesty, humility, and care for the poor.

The phrase often appears in political and cultural debates: The country was founded on Christian principles.

Critics note the term can be selectively applied or used to claim moral authority for positions that have little scriptural basis.
