The Honor Code: Bible Study Lesson 1

Lesson 1: Foundations of Honor

From The Honor Code by Bishop Rasby G. Mason, II

What is honor—and why has it vanished from our culture?

In this opening lesson, Bishop Mason reintroduces honor as a sacred Kingdom currency, not just a cultural courtesy. Students explore the biblical foundations of honor, distinguish it from transactional relationships, and examine its role as both a spiritual discipline and a relational safeguard. From the Ten Commandments to David’s restraint with Saul, this lesson redefines honor as covenant, not convenience—and calls us back to a higher standard of living, loving, and leading.

Whether you’re a leader, believer, or emerging disciple, this lesson challenges you to inspect your heart, reevaluate your relationships, and take practical steps toward a life where reverence becomes restoration.
