Grade 9 Christian Living
Lesson 1
“To Give and Not to Count the Cost”
(DISCIPLESHIP)
Presented by: Ms. Hilary Ann Galanida
Objectives:
At the end of the lesson the students will be able to:
● Creed/Aral: Describe discipleship and its relationship to
Christian morality
● Code/Asal: Make a conscious effort in following Jesus in our
words, actions & in our way of relating with others as Jesus’ true
disciples
● Cult/Dasal: Seek God’s grace to help us lead a Christian moral
life
● For Christians, moral living is simply
“following Christ.” Yet when “morality” is
mentioned, the first thing we often think about
is laws, commandments, a series of do’s and
don’ts, and dire punishments if we fail.
● But Christian Faith is more than a set of truths to be believed; it is
the way of Christ which leads to life (cf CCC 1696). It is the Gospel
of Christ believed and lived which will decide our destiny as
Christians.
● Fullness of life here on earth means that, in all the innumerable
actions, events and problems of daily life, we walk with Jesus of
Nazareth, the Christ, who is “the Way, the Truth, and the Life”
(Jn 14:6) (cf CFC 674).
What is Morality?

In simple definition:
Doing what is good and avoiding such evil
actions.
THE SOURCES OF MORALITY
The morality of human acts depends on:
The object chosen
The intention (the end)
The circumstances of the action
THE SOURCES OF MORALITY
The morality of human acts depends on:
The object chosen
THE OBJECT CHOSEN
This is the act itself (What you do)

chosen as the "primary and decisive
element" for moral judgement.

THE OBJECT CHOSEN
If the object is bad, it automatically makes the
action evil (even the intention and
circumstances are good.)
FOR EXAMPLE:
THE STORY OF ROBIN HOOD
THE OBJECT CHOSEN
If the object is bad, it automatically makes the
action evil (even the intention an
circumstances are good.)
An object's goodness or badness is
determined by the Law revealed by God.
(Human reason and conscience can help us
know there norms.)
THE SOURCES OF MORALITY
The morality of human acts depends on:
The object chosen
The intention (the end)
THE INTENTION
This is the "WHY" of the act. This is rooted in your
WILL. Intentions can be good or bad.
FOR EXAMPLE, the object is "giving to charity."
Good Intention Bad Intention
You give to charity You give to charity to
to help those less manipulate other into
fortunate than thinking you are
yourself. someone you're not.
THE INTENTION
The end (intention) doesn't justify the means.
A good intention can never turn an intrinsically bad action into one.
FOR EXAMPLE:

be justified because
INTENTION OBJECT CHOSEN
Wanting to Graduate Cheating to achieve the end of a good intention.
GOOD INTENTION BAD ACTION OR
INTRINSICALLY EVIL ACT
THE INTENTION
The end (intention) doesn't justify the means.
A bad intention can turn a good act into an evil one.
FOR EXAMPLE:

and erases the good of
complimenting to
OBJECT CHOSEN INTENTION someone.
Compliment Someone pretend that you are a friend
BAD ACTION OR

THE SOURCES OF MORALITY
The morality of human acts depends on:
The object chosen
The intention (the end)
The circumstances of the action
THE CIRCUMSTANCES
This is the '' HOW,WHO,WHEN,WHERE''of the act.
Circumstances can lessen or increase our blameworthiness
(culpability) of an act.
Ignorance , fear and other psychological and social factors can
lessen or nullify our responsibility for our actions.
THE CIRCUMSTANCES
For example: Being overwhelmed by the fear of personal harm
and not helping a dying victim at an accident scene could
greatly diminish moral responsibility.
TO SUMMARIZE
'' A morally good act requires the goodness of the object, of
the end, and of the circumstances together."
OBJECT CHOSEN INTENTION CIRCUMSTANCES
GOOD ACTION GOOD INTENTION GOOD
= Morally Good
TO SUMMARIZE
An evil end corrupts the action,even if the object is
good in itself.
OBJECT CHOSEN INTENTION CIRCUMSTANCES
GOOD ACTION BAD OR EVIL GOOD
ACTION
= Morally Bad
