Introduction
Studying the Bible has been the greatest transformation in my life. Having to learn more about the Bible’s teachings has made me change my previous thoughts about the Bible. Little understanding of the Bible’s ethical teaching made me believe that like any other ordinary book, the Bible does not teach much about humanity, human ethics and conduct. Being able to study the Bible has restored in me hope in humanity and the way of human life and relationship with God. Importantly, I have been able to learn that through God’s mercy, humanity is still able to exist on earth (Packer, 2023). Secondly, learning the Bible restored in me the need to care for humanity all from life on earth. Being appreciative of God is very important to all humans. Ethics in Bible Studies Discussion Paper

Reading the Bible is often accompanied by many complexities. In most cases, I found it quite challenging to understand some teachings of the Bible. However, I am thankful for being able to understand the central theme of the Bible teaching (restoring hope to the fallen humanity) (Humphrey, 2024). During my period of studying the Bible, many stories in the Bold Testament were quite ambiguous. For example, being able to understand how God communicated with the prophets. Secondly, I found it hard to understand the attributes of God such as omnipresent and omnipotent natures. Consequently, I am thankful for being able to read and understand the Bible’s ethical teachings through Jesus’ teaching on love. Human ethics are based on our love for one another.
