Human life is incomplete morally and spiritually without relationship with God and the law of relationship with God which is human ethics towards God is “KNOW GOD, BELIEVE IN HIM, FEAR HIM AND OBEY HIM.” The commandment of God, “LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.” This is the first and greatest commandment. The second is, “LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR AS YOURSELF.” “IN EVERY THING, DO TO OTHERS WHAT YOU WOULD HAVE OTHERS DO TO YOU.” (Bible).
If God is loved with all the heart, there would be no room for doing evil upon humankind. If the neighbour is loved as self and any thing is done pleasing to others as self, the relationship among humankind would be perfect and there will be no question of fear, mistrust, suspicion and insecurity among humankind. Loving God and humankind with the whole heart is what the CREATOR commanded the creatures to do. So all human beings are to focus on this and to determine to achieve it as the CHIEF GOAL of humankind in the world. This is not religion but human living as human ethics to have relationship with God and among humankind.
The problem of terrorism is looming large in the world and the root cause is distance from God. So the solution is seeking to have relationship with God as good relationship among humankind is the reflection of good relationship with God. Humankind however advanced and powerful with modern technologies are nothing and can do nothing without God because the heaven and the earth and all things in them including human body, soul and spirit and all the powers and riches are only the witnesses of the eternal life, wisdom and power of the Creator.
As all of the normal children of humankind have instinctive love for the parents and brothers and sisters, all normal human beings are to have instinctive love for God the heavenly Father. Human beings who have not instinctive love for God are abnormal children of God. The need of the day for humankind in the world is to have interaction among humankind how to have the right relationship with God which is the only way of peace and security for the world but the only practicable way is rising above religious intolerance which is human ethics towards God and humankind through which only the people of all social and religious backgrounds can meet together and share opinions together how to have relationship with God and better relationship among the people. This is the only way of bringing about accessibility to one another, better understanding and freedom from religious intolerance or persecution.
Human ethics towards God and humankind is without prejudice to any religion but it can embrace the people irrespective of races, religions and organizations without discrimination. The world is being destroyed itself by being in the dark about God. So the law of relationship with God which is a universal human ethics towards God, “KNOW GOD, BELIEVE IN HIM, FEAR HIM AND OBEY HIM” should be acknowledged as the guidance and foundation of human life to achieve the great goal of the commandments of God for human peace.
