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:

  • Discuss ways Christians should take into account the situation when when making ethical decisions.
  • Identify key biblical teachings about the situational character of revelation, the meaning of goals and means, and incorrect strategies for taking into account the situational character of revelation

  • Apply the teachings of the lesson to life
  • Practice taking into account the situation in an appropriate way when making ethical decisions
