Abstract: The rapid advancement of digital technology has profoundly impacted social interactions and individual behaviors, particularly among students who increasingly disregard traditional social norms, contributing to a significant decline in digital ethics. This research, employing a literature review methodology, critically examines the transformative role that Christian education can play in restoring digital ethics among young people. It highlights the crucial function of Christian teachers, who are envisioned not just as educators but as mentors guiding students towards Christ’s redemption. The aim is to teach students to respond ethically in their digital interactions as a reflection of their redemption. The findings suggest that teachers who are deeply committed to Christ and who recognize that students, though marred by sin, are still made in the image of God, can effectively nurture ethical behavior. This study emphasizes the vital importance of integrating Biblical truths as the foundational framework for ethical education in the digital age, proposing that such integration can equip students to navigate the complex ethical landscapes of modern digital environments.
