The Relationship between Moral Integrity, Phsychological Well-being, and Anxiety

Bifurcation means split apart or divided. I have to admit that the study which provides the foundation for this article is the product of a certain bifurcation between Christian faith and psychological science. Despite the division, as a Christian and a psychologist, I am grateful to have the opportunity to explore this great divide in light of God’s truth. I do, however, ask your patience when you recognize the competing assumptions between a study designed to empirically measure moral integrity through behavioral observations and the truth that our moral selves, fragmented by sin, yearn for the perfect integrity that characterized God’s creation before the fall (Gen. 1:2628) and which can only be fully restored by God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
