Biblical Values

By “values” we mean ideals or motives that have to be pursued on the basis of the idea that good must be done, with the goal that people will live (together) as well as possible.
In the Bible values are not only concerned with relations between people, but also with the relation of man to God, and of God to man. Important biblical values are:

mercy;
faith;
grace;
righteousness;
holiness;
hope;
love;
faithfulness;
trust;
peace;
sincerity.

God is seen as the source of such values as love, grace, holiness and hope, and as the one in whom these values are perfectly expressed (see Exodus 34:6; Psalm 77:13-14; Romans 15:13; 1 John 4:8).
