According to Christian belief, the four guiding principles are best ranked as follows: beneficence, nonmaleficence, fairness and justice and individual autonomy. As per Christian teaching, the greatest commandment is love. As a result, there is no longer any cause for damage because love has wiped out all other motives. It is the primary responsibility of a parent, doctor, or guardian to safeguard the safety of the children in their care, and this duty comes second only to the duty of doing no harm (Juujärvi et al., 2019). In light of this, it is imperative that no effort be expended that could endanger their safety or health. As long as people are linked in love, these two aspects work together to foster stability, harmony, and togetherness in the community. Doing so implies that Christians are acting justly and fairly. The primary goal is to foster a more equitable society. These values should serve as the model for all activities. The reason autonomy is last on the list is that the first three factors establish an environment conducive to exchanging ideas and soliciting feedback. By discussing the next steps with the patient, care providers can show they respect and value the patient’s input before moving forward. It would be challenging to reorganize all these ideas to suit one’s own purposes because they are so well-known in the Christian context.
