A summary which includes all major elements of morality is needed to clarify what morality is. There is no proof of anything in an absolute, technical sense. Truth is determined by relationships to surrounding realities. The more the relationships, the clearer the truth. This means that showing all of the concepts surrounding morality clarifies what morality is.

1. The most definitive element of morality is concern for the least persons. Christ said, "...as often as you did it for one of my least brothers, you did it for me" (Mat 25:40). What a person will do to one person, he will do to anyone, at least when circumstances change. To a large extent, the persons at the bottom of society are the most innocent and moral, because corrupters and power mongers hate moral persons, particularly satan, who controls the world. The problems of persons at the bottom of society are not something they deserve; they are an injustice. Since bigots and elitists hate powerlessness, relationship to the least persons is a test of moral corruption.

2. The most significant test of morality is the golden rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you (Mat 7:12). People define what they consider right to be by their demands for themselves. The same thing is what is right for others. The same standard for self and others eliminates the hypocrisy which all sin depends upon. No one can uniformly sin, because they need to exploit life while destroying life; and they must conceal, deny or rationalize their sin to prevent others from feeling threatened by it. So they create an image of virtue which is the opposite of the sin which they are trying to conceal.

3. Social justice, as solving problems instead of creating them, is how life is sustained (Luke 10:30-36). Morality is that which sustains life. Solving problems for the needy is the most visible test of morality, but all problems destroy life and must be solved as a moral requirement.

4. Tolerance is necessary to stop further injustices. Christ said, "Offer no resistance to violence. If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn and offer the other as well" (Mat 5:39). A person must tolerate all he can tolerate for himself but not decide what others should tolerate. Otherwise, one sin becomes an excuse for another sin, particularly in a world where sin and injustice are pervasive. In a more abstract sense, a person cannot evaluate every element of a situation, and drawing conclusions puts one person's view against another. Tolerating all that can be tolerated reduces the imperfections of judgmental decisions.

5. Acquiring knowledge based on evidence is essential for sustaining life. Christ told people to look and listen, seek and find and produce understanding and honest judgment from the evidence (Mat 7:8, 13:16, 15:10)(Mark 4:13, 8:18)(Luke 8:18, 10:23,24 12:54-57, 24:45)(John 7:24, 8:43). Life is complex. To not understand it is to create conflicts with it, which destroys life. This standard must overcome the nihilism which sin depends upon. Nihilism is represented by the slogan "See no evil, speak no evil, do no evil," which is how evil is promoted.

6. Subservience must replace selfishness (Mat 20:25-28, 23:11)(Mark 10:42-45). It's like environmentalism applied socially. What a person does for others, he does for his own social environment. Constructivity begets constructivity; good deeds beget good deeds. Expecting good to come from doing good is faith. Selfishness is at least inadvertently destructive, if not deliberately destructive, because life is too complex to be sustained inadvertently. Selfishness is like driving without looking through the windshield, because supposedly, it doesn't matter where you go. Constructive activity is not random or inadvertent activity.

7. Openness and accountability must replace the darkness of concealment. Christ said, he who walks in the dark will stumble (John 11:9,10). And he said, what you hear in closed rooms must be shouted from the rooftops (Mat 10:27)(Luke 12:3). This doesn't apply to personal realities, which are no one else's business; it applies to social realities, which are everyone's business. The reason is because truth can only be developed in relation to all surrounding realities. Without openness and accountability, sin and evil prevail.

8. Truth sets people free from sin (John 8:32, 34). Sin cannot exist in the light of truth, because corrupters cannot admit that they are a threat to everyone. All sin must be concealed, denied or rationalized to prevent a reaction from persons who feel threatened by it, which is everyone who is not involved in promoting it. Therefore, truth is the answer to problems, not force. All problems will be approached either through truth of force. Anyone who does not use truth will use force.

9. The summary and feel of morality is love (John 13:34). Wanting others to be better off will result in others being better off.

This summary does not mention the Ten Commandments, because morality includes the same and more. Morality cannot be adequately covered by listing things a person should or should not do. A person must at least do what the Ten Commandments describe, and therefore they still apply; but morality is a lot more than that.
