SPIRITUAL VALUES

 Usually, the spiritual values most treated by the theology Are harmony, truth, charity, faith
and hope.

 These values are defined as fundamental so that the human being can establish a deep
relationship with a god outside the human and material plane (Miller & Miller, 2009).
 In general, spiritual values focus on those things that contribute to the spiritual
development of human beings without any relation to the material plane.

 They are highly influential in the sense of personal fulfillment of human beings and affect
how they relate to each other (Sanders, 2010).

 A fundamental characteristic of spiritual values is that they are linked to religious beliefs
and in this sense make it viable that there is a sustainable relationship between humans
and a god. They seek the improvement of the individual on a supernatural plane.

 Values represent the essence and quintessence of the knowledge acquired by humanity
for thousands of years. Values give man the knowledge he needs to grow, develop, and
progress on an ongoing basis.
