Situation ethics does have rules and principles to abide by. However, situationists are allowed to set these general rules aside if it seems more loving to do so. Situational ethics is a teleological theory as it is mainly concerned with the outcome and if this outcome is the most loving thing. Fletcher argued that “loves decisions are made situationally not prescriptively” this statement can be accounted for by the actions of Jesus Christ himself. Christianity teaches that people should not work on the day of Sabbath as God himself didn’t and that it should be the day of rest.
Always Remembering Does God judge people for who they are, or is God’s only duty is to save the world? In the Gospel of John, he states that God does judge people. John: 22-27 says, “For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son. The Father hath given him authority to execute judgment.” In another verse that we read God does not judge people for who they are, but came to this world to save the firm believers. In John 12: 47 we read, “And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.” Therefore in my paper I’ll explore if God judges people of their personality, character, and reputation, or if God’s duty is to save the world.

But Jesus never denied His ancestry or allowed others to shame Him. To be like Jesus we need to accept and understand where we came from, and we want to be sure that we don't criticize anyone else's ancestry. (Matthew 1:1-17) To be like Jesus means to engage the world's pain. Jesus' entry into human life was fraught with awkward tensions and human dilemmas. Jesus was born out of a miraculous, but nevertheless embarrassing conception.
Colonialists place "...the book of God's Word over the book of God's Works, and theology over psychology." (Entwistle, 2010, p. 145). Neutral parties keep psychology and theology separate for fear that one will contaminate the other. And then there are Allies, those who believe that both psychology and theology belong to God and that "all truth is God's truth". They believe in total integration and know and respect the two books of God.
Though Romans says that human nature is that we are sinners. Human beings are slaves to sin and seem to be powerless against it. We understand that we are not righteous at all, and that we need a relationship with God, so that we can be empowered by His righteous. His righteous comes through our faith in Jesus Christ. Only he can redeem, justify, and sanctify us, and we need all three for our salvation.
He emphasizes on the aspect of upholding one’s inner peace first then make peace with others after you have made with yourself. He advocates for one to build great trust in God rather than in oneself in a bid to achieve one’s goals, dreams, and ambitions. God grants strength for us to accomplish our daily duties and therefore with trust in him, what man finds impossible becomes possible. By doing this, one will surely be following Christ’s own example. “Whoever wishes to understand fully the words of Christ must try to pattern his whole life on that of Christ?” He says that it is not learning what makes a man holy and just but a virtuous life that makes him pleasing to
