There is a foundation for moraltiy and it is the gospel and its goal, revealed in Jesus Christ. Jesus becomes the basis for not just the outcome of how we live but the means by which we come by that way of living. This is very much against the grain of culture where the ends justify the means (utilitarian ethic), a grain that seems to have shaped many who profess to be followers of Jeuss Christ.
