Abstract
Ethical dilemmas are among the toughest problems with which we deal. Since they often require “heat of the moment” decisions, the philosophy that forms the foundation of our decisions must reflect deeply held convictions. When convictions are founded on a knowledge and faith in Christ and His character, our actions are motivated by a desire to emulate Him and to do as He did. Our faith in Christ and commitment to strive to live a Christ-like life will aid us in resolving dilemmas. To help resolve dilemmas, it is important to have faith, based on knowledge that: 1) Jesus Christ is the Son of God, 2) Christ’s (and the Father’s) true character and 3) By seeking to develop the mind of Christ and committing to live a Christ-like life, dilemmas can be solved correctly.
