Explain the importance of Christianity in the ethical decision making of adherents. Christianity is a monotheistic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus the Son of God. Christians, adherents of Christianity follow the Bible and its various teachings. The Old and the New Testament give examples of the way Christians should live their life by following Prophets and Jesus himself. It guides them to make the correct ethical decisions in life fulfilling their role as Christians.
Prayer is simply communing with God. Jesus set the perfect example for prayer when he taught his disciples what we call the Lords’ prayer. There are times in our life when we don’t know what to pray for but the word of God said that the Holy Spirit will make intercession for us. The Apostle Paul and Silas prayed and the Holy Spirit caused the ground to shake during their imprisonment. During the book of Acts we see not only the early Church praying but also the disciples.
Our focus as believers, for ourselves, is to love and worship God, to uplift Him in everything we do, to glorify Him in our lives, to love those around us, to be a light in a dark world, and to share God’s love with everyone around us. It ultimately comes back to us serving God and pleasing Him (Crabb, 1977, p. 21). As Psalm 144:15 states, “Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the Lord”. Rather than seeking happiness, one should focus their efforts on seeking God. From there, true happiness will emerge.
In conclusion, the message that Psalm 28 has to offer is that the people of God can pray for aid in times of need to their Lord. He will provide reliable guidance and salvation to those who have shown their commitment to him and those who haven’t will receive consequences that are justly

In my opinion a Symbol narrows down a broad and endless topic like what God represents, to one thing or few things. A symbol generates the intrinsic meaning that causes a reaction from within us and from this we can gain a full understanding. To say a symbol can provide a meaningful way to talk about God is strong in some aspects. For example, from my experiences of going to church, when I re-collect what it is like to go to Church, I automatically think of a warm, inviting place which is open to forgiveness and gives every walk of life the freedom to express themselves. This emotion inside me and outlook is created I think of a Church.
They say it is conservative and when a community is cooperating such as practising worship together in church it creates a social harmony among everybody. Religion often promotes love and peace, these are positive attributes that would create a good society when practised. It works by religion helping people choose the right moral decisions. An example derived from Christianity would be when followers look into the accounts from the holy Bible where they can read passages from Jesus’ teachings and access guidance “ What would Jesus do?” Jesus did good things, so the people that follow him will create a social harmony. Religions such as Christianity offer social norms and rules with the “10 commandments” such rules as “do not steal” have become universal.
It is a commandment from Jesus that we must obey. Worship is the demonstration of your love for Him. But worshipping and serving God deals with more than just singing praise songs. True worship is expressed by bowing down and laying
