Restoring Biblical Nurture in Christian Homes as a Panacea to Rejuvenating Christian Morality in Nigeria

Abstract

The incessant cases of moral failures in Nigeria have raised different camps of agitations among scholars. However, it appears that the stance of secularism, promoted by psychological, philosophical and social underpinnings have been given high premium, in breeding an efficient paradigm for human transformation and character formation than the biblical perception of it. Thus, Christian principles in promoting normative values of human behaviour has been somewhat abandoned in solving this multi-dimensional issue. The purpose of the study is to advance Christian model of morality for enhancing human behaviour in Nigeria. The paper adopts descriptive and phenomenological methods. The significance of this biblical perspective on morality becomes pronounced because of the wave of information, efficiency and dynamics it will promote among Christian families and the Nigerian society at large. The negligence of parents and inability to utilize Christian model of morality in the homes have aggravated the level of immorality in the society. The paper recommends that there should be appropriate application of the Bible for enhancing morality in Christian homes and the Nigerian society.
