Cite Chapter 7 of The Beginning of Wisdom textbook and/or topic overview. Include the resources you use on a reference page at the end of this document.

Your answer in 75-100 words:

This conviction stems from their faith in a singular, personal, and relational God who is the creator and sustainer of all existence (Holland & Jibben, 2014). For Christians, moral standards are derived from the divine nature of God, who embodies perfect goodness. Examples such as the condemnation of acts like rape, cruelty, and child abuse as moral abominations illustrate their commitment to objective moral principles. Conversely, virtues like love, equality, and sacrifice are deemed reasonable. In this perspective, the existence of moral values itself serves as evidence for the existence of God, as moral values are intrinsically linked to His divine nature (Craig & Sinnott-Armstrong, 2003).
