Divine Command Theory is a branch of absolutism that is perfectly in line with the Christian perspective. Any action that God commands is morally right. An action is wrong if it is contrary to God's will. God's will can be found through Scripture, personal revelation, tradition, and reason. If you love God, then you must obey His will. Morality is based on the commands and ever-changing character of God and if God did not exist then it would be the same with morality. Following God's will is not only to the advantage of oneself but often also of others because it is good. God is knowledgeable, strategic, just, and wise as well as having the understanding of what is best for each individual person. I choose to follow God's will because it is right, not because I always enjoy the results, but rather because I know it is for the best. Divine Command theory encourages its followers to place the will of No other ethical system we have looked at so far has any higher power to which they hold themselves. The only reason a relativist could do good is because they would do so in the context of a certain culture. The selfish person does good because he will feel bad if he doesn't do it or is motivated to do good so as not to face the consequences of doing bad. A utilitarian will do good because it can benefit the greatest number of people. A divine command theorist has someone to hold him accountable and a reason to do good, not only because God commands us to, but also for our own good. Throughout the Bible He outlines the repercussions of transgressions. You might say we are motivated by consequences, but you might also say we are motivated by doing what is good, by knowledge and feelings, even by the rewards of doing what is good in the eyes of God and
