One of the most important objectives of Christian counseling is the promotion of changes. Counseling is constructive, infusing the counselees with encouragement to adopt the Bible-oriented behavior and attitude while providing guidance. In other words, Christian counseling stimulates the changes and provides motivation to change the behavior and attitude. Motivation provides stimulation to make the ideas translated into actions, sets the direction for behavior, and enables the selection, and furthermore, infuses the internal power vital for sustaining specific behavior. Emotion is the signal that allows people to perceive and recognize such motivation. It is the signal system of God, using the internal instinctive senses. Emotion will be the signal assigning the motivation towards moral behavior, if the ground for maintaining the morality and sustaining the moral behavior is underpinned by the ability of humanity to achieve internal change and select sustainable behavioral changes based on motivation. Morality is the norm applicable to the real world where the humanity exists, and requires the discernment and judgment of situation. The perception of reality, which means understating and recognizing the real world, is based on the bedrock of self-awareness. The selfawareness is buttressed by the perceptual ability, and the perception is affected by momentary sensory reaction in the emotional realm. The emotional sensitivity perceived through the body stimulates the perceptual ability, thereby affecting the circumstantial judgment, and ultimately works as discernment. The discernment belongs to the realm of wisdom and gives rise to the motivation for proper judgment. Such circulation implies that the emotional development and moral development are interrelated while the ethical issues are related to emotion. The emotion is necessarily involved in morality, given that the emotion is associated with the importance of morality judgment and moral judgment entailing from moral behavior. That is because one needs to be sensitive to the relationship between one’s own or others’ emotion and possible behaviors when discerning and determining the situation from moral perspective. Emotion facilitates proper moral selfawareness and influences moral epistemology. In this process, the emotion partially forms the subject matter of moral epistemology. Thus, if the emotional reaction is disregarded or overlooked, the important decisive perspective will be missed and the consequential confusion in judgment would lead to the distortion that would result in the perception of situation from the externally prevailing or unreasonable viewpoint. The emotional holiness and morality which are manifested in the Bible represent the fruits of Gold’s integrity and belong to the realm of absolute order. God’s integrity has been considered based on His holiness and morality. His emotion also manifests itself as upright, righteous and moral because God is upright, righteous, and moral. In addition, the emotion is good and appropriate because it essentially belongs to God, and it has been made clear that the emotion was given as part of humanity. The biblical emotion is the source of power that leads people towards God’s integrity and assigns motivation towards the holy emotion, and therefore requires morality and holiness. It implies that the healthy and restored emotion, which is based on biblical creation, makes humanity moral and holy, thus becoming the wholesome existence The holiness and morality of emotion from the standpoint of Christian counseling embody the absolute order witnessed in the Bible, and represent the domain at the center of the relationship with God. The influence of emotion, which affects the moral inference and judgment, manifests itself in conjunction with the interrelated cyclical backgrounds. The ultimate good and morality are related to emotional perception and reaction.

도덕성은 인간이 실재하는 현실에서 이루어지는 규범으로 상황에 대한 분별 과 판단이 요구되는 것이다. 현실의 상황을 파악하고 인식하는 것, 즉 현실 지각 은 자기 인식에 기초한다. 자기 인식은 지각력에 기초하며 지각은 정서 영역으 로 순간적 감각 반응에 영향을 받는다. 신체를 통해 느껴지는 정서적 민감함은 상황에 대한 지각력을 촉진하여 상황 판단에 영향을 미치고, 궁극적 분별력으로 작용하게 된다. 분별력은 지혜의 영역이며 올바른 판단을 이루는 동기부여의 핵 심적 힘이다. 도덕성에 있어 정서가 필요한 이유는 도덕적 행위에 따른 도덕 판단과 지각 의 중요성과 관련되어 있다. 도덕적으로 상황을 분별하고 판단할 때, 자신과 타 인의 정서와 발생 가능한 행위의 관계성에 민감해야 하기 때문이다. 이 때 정서 는 적절한 도덕적 자각에 이르도록 돕고 도덕적 인식론에 영향을 미친다. 이 과 정에 정서는 부분적으로 도덕 인식론의 주제를 구성함으로써 정서적 반응을 무 시하거나 간과하면 중요한 결정적 관점을 놓치게 된다. 기독교 상담적 관점에서 정서의 거룩성과 도덕성은 성경에서 하나님 성품의 열매이자 절대 명령이다. 하나님의 정서는 그의 거룩함과 도덕적 특징을 가지고 있으며 궁극적으로 도덕성을 향한 정서는 하나님과의 관계 중심의 핵심에 놓인 영역이다. 이들은 상호 연관된 순환적 배경을 가지고 작용하고 있으며 궁극적 선과 도덕성은 정서적 지각과 그 반응에 관련되어 있는 것이다. 도덕적 가치와 실현에 따른 정서 지각과 인식의 수반은 기독교 관점에서 도덕성 회복에 정서 회복과 치유의 필요성을 드러내는 것이다.
