Lesson Overview

This course provides a biblical orientation to Christian ethics. Many believers today have lost their moral footing. Moreover, believers who want to live ethically are frequently confused by the complexities of ethical decisions. Even so, with proper study of the Bible’s system of ethics, Christians can learn how to evaluate problems in ways that lead to biblical solutions. It is based on the DVD lessons of Dr. John M. Frame.

Lesson Objectives

When you complete this lesson, you should be able to:

  • Express an understanding of the importance of knowing both God’s character and His normative revelation for making ethical decisions.
  • Explain the following ethical concepts: God Himself is our ultimate moral standard; the meanings of general revelation, special revelation, and existential revelation; ways in which these forms of revelation relate to each other; the meaning of illumination and internal leading.
  • Discuss how the lesson has affected their attitude toward God
  • Commit to looking to God’s character and His revealed ethical norms in decision making

Personal Reflection

As you proceed through this lesson have the following question in mind.
In what ways do you strive to know God? Give an example of a time when knowing God has revealed a proper course of action to you.
