Human ethics towards God

L. Suohie  Mhasi

Humankind  without  relationship  with  the  Creator  and  Lord  of  the  heaven  and  the  earth  is  a  mere  animal  morally  and  spiritually. Human  life  is   incomplete  without  relationship  with  God   and  the  natural  law  of  human  relationship  with  God  which  is  human  ethics  towards  God  is  “ KNOW  GOD, BELIEVE  IN  HIM, FEAR  HIM  AND  OBEY  HIM.” 

It  is   not  religion  and  it  is  the  only  avenue  where  the  people   of  all  social  and  religious  backgrounds  can  meet   together  and  share   opinions   together  about  how  to  have  relationship  with  God  and  closer   relationship   among   humankind  without  any  barrier. It  is  a  universal   ethics  towards  God  which   reflects  closer   relationship  among  humankind. So  acknowledging  it  is  only  way  of  bringing  about  freedom  from  religious   intolerance   and  all  anti-human  sentiments  and  it  will  be  really  a  process  of  healing  the  world.

God  said, “ Love  the  Lord  your  God  with  all  your  heart  and  with  all  your  soul  and  with  all  your  mind. This is the first and second greatest commandment. And the second is, “Love your neighbour as yourself.” (Bible). This is human ethics towards God and towards humankind. Any  religion  or  ritualism  without  human  ethics  towards  God  and  towards  humankind  is  vain.

It  is  not  a  written  ethics  with  ink  but  it  is  written  on  the  heart  of  all  humankind. It  was  human  ethics  towards  God  and  human  ethics  towards  humankind  that  separated  humankind  between  the  inhabitants  of  the  world  and  the  family  of  Noah  during  the  great  flood. It causes God’s grace or his wrath.

This  is  a  matter  of  verity  and  there  is  nothing  which  can  prevent men  and  women  from  acknowledging  it  except  ignorance  or  arrogance. If  this  reality  is  acknowledged  and  accepted  as  the  guidance  and  foundation  of  human  life , the  world  will  experience  overcoming  many  hurdles to  peace.
