The Bible shows that people have a sinful nature and only through the power of the Holy Spirit can human beings have the capability to make morally right decisions. God is the foundation and the standard for a universal morality as it shows in Leviticus 19:1-2: œWe are commanded to be holy because of God™s holy character. Another passage is from Isaiah 6:1-5 and also in Mark 10:18, which demonstrates the holiness of God and sinfulness of humanity.
