Integrative Essay On Faith Engaging Culture
The Contribution of Christian Faith and Belief in The Views of Intellectual, Spiritual and Civil Development of Individuals, The Community and Society
Religion plays a very important role in the lives of different individuals across the world. It has a large stake in the traditions of various cultures as well as in the development of moral ethics. What people believe or what their faith entail is integral in giving the ethical and moral compass for the society. Faith has a significant effect on the various social and economic aspects. Normally, people of a certain faith are likely to take key positions in organizations. In these positions, part of their responsibilities is to tackle problems that are affecting the society and the globe at large (Dowling and Scarlett, 45). Since their faith greatly influences their moral stand, the decisions they will make will also have an important aspect of the faith as well.
An intellect is basically an individual who possess some knowledge about a certain subject. These are people whose opinions are driven by careful research, and they take careful judgments in making decisions. However, faith always seems to have a very heavy influence on the judgments they make. In this regard, therefore, the perspective of intellectual development, spiritual and civil development of an individual or a society could be viewed from the Christian faith standpoint. Considering that different believers have different beliefs regarding morality and the various life aspects, it goes without saying that these differences will also have an impact on their views (Dowling and Scarlett, 40).

Any aspect that is deemed to be against the moral of certain Christian faith or belief will also be discarded in the development of spiritual, intellectual and civil aspects of an individual, community, and society. It is therefore correct to adduce that moral consideration is what greatly influences the Christian based faith and belief towards various aspects of life.
