Chapter 16: Committing to a Moral Life
At the end of this course, we can reflect on the evidence that religious faith and Jesus’ moral teaching are the pathways not only to eternal salvation but also to emotional, relational, and marital health in this life.

Each of us is part of a transcendent spiritual struggle between good and evil that ultimately requires divine assistance to prevail — to resist temptation and change sinful habits.
