Christian ethics have greatly influenced the development of Western legal systems through principles such as justice, fairness, equality, and the importance of upholding the value of human life. These values can be traced back to various teachings in the Bible, such as Micah 6:8 which states, “He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” Additionally, the Ten Commandments provide a foundation for moral and ethical behavior that has influenced many aspects of Western legal systems.
