The purpose of this paper is to show that Revelational Christian Ethics is a viable metaethical approach to Business. This ethical theory is a prescriptive and a concrete expression of objective reality. It exemplifies the core values and teachings of Jesus Christ as the foundation of morality and guiding principles for ethical conduct, treatment of others, as well corporate leadership decisions that affect the environment, community, and economics.
Countries disintegrate, place of worship and corporation fail, people become dysfunctional, descendants lose their direction, and mankind drift from God on behalf of one distracting reason; insufficiency of leadership. These disappointments are often for the reason that of the deficiency of instruction, appropriate leadership, and misperception on what Christian leadership subsists and exactly how that leadership is pertinent to every component of professional and personal life. From a Christian worldview perspective, Psalm 112:5 explains, “A good man deals graciously and lends; He will guide his affairs with discretion” (NKJ). A Christian manager should always keep in mind that bounteousness and admiration for God, demonstrates that one has placed trust in Him, and not our material possessions.
There are many Bible verses that relate to business character. Many of them speak of honesty and integrity in business actions. Character is defined as the combination of a person’s ethical and moral qualities, and it is shown through the choices we make. Therefore, as a business owner or decision maker, one needs to consider the impacts the decision may have on others and the community and not be hasty in making the quick decision that may have negative impacts in the future.

Money brings the inequality of possessions, also called “the haves and the have not’s.” We may all be equal in the eyes of God, but here on earth some eyes grow green with envy. Children come home from daycare complaining that Little Jimmy’s truck was bigger than his, husbands and fathers are forever eying the Jones; new corvette, and entire wars have erupted over the “you have it and I’m gonna get it” mentality. Inequality of possessions is not bad though many passages in the Bible teach that even in heaven there are different degrees of rewards. Even God’s spiritual gifts are not given equally to each of us, but this does not mean He loves one person more than the other. It is what we do with

Christians are called to the higher purpose of fulfilling a spiritual life in accordance to God’s will (II Timothy 1:9 New Living Translation, NLT). At the same time Christians are a part of society and therefore participate in the wealth of the economy. Although some have challenged business is morally neutral, business can be a wonderful way to bring glory to God (Grudem, 2003). This is possible when Christians apply their Christian worldview and abide by a code of conduct constructed from this worldview (Ruddell, 2004). This paper will examine the process of constructing an ethics program based on a Christian worldview.
Business for the Glory of God: The Bible’s teaching on the Moral Goodness of Business
The ethical principles that would likely guide the marketing strategy for Jesus’ business would be to assure he is not selling people things they do not need and that the product or service is needed. He would not be selling anything just to make himself money. He would assure his work was high quality and offer a warranty or money back guarantee. His standards would match that of the business he was representing. He would be sure to serve all people not just his own kind. Being diverse adds value to your company and demonstrates to others, it is the right way to treat others.

Through our reading in Business Ethics-Faith That Works, it discusses different components and principles to help us understand biblical business ethics and how faith integrates with business. Ruddell describes the Christian foundation to business ethics as a different because it is a distinctive worldview. Since the covenant is described as the foundation for business ethics, I would say it is one of the components of the Biblical view of work. The covenant is a deep truth that bridges generations and cultures. Business Ethics-Faith That Works uses the covenant as a framework for discussing global business ethics. The covenant is the guiding principle in business ethics because it hits at the heart of business which is trusting

As modern technology advances, mankind is bestowed with new solutions to baffling problems. However, as each puzzle is solved, two more take its place. This constant need to adapt with the times has given rise to many ethical questions. To deal with these ever-changing inquiries, the typical consensus has been to let go of the morals of the past, and supersede them with the ideologies of the new. For instance, the original Hippocratic Oath, which was found in the book, Bioethics: Principles, Issues, and Cases, by Lewis Vaughn, was an oath used by numerous physicians to uphold the ethical side of medicine. During this period, it originally stated that under no circumstances should an abortion be performed. Like when it says “similarly I will not give to a woman an abortive remedy,” (Vaugh 73). However, when medical technology advanced, so did the morals of the old shift to fit the new opinions. This adaptation to morals is shown in the journal article "Hippocratic Oath‐Modern Version," by Wingate M. Johnson. In the journal article, Johnson quotes the modern-day oath all physicians must swear to obey to become practicing physicians. In the article, the oath now has “Similarly I will not give to a woman an abortive remedy, except in accord with medical ethics,” (Johnson, 140). This means that in the 460 B.C. when the first Oath was written to the 1945 A.D. when the journal article was written, abortion became something that was unacceptable to something tolerable. This is a
