Introduction/Thesis
A Biblical Worldview is your view of the world through a biblical perspective. Worldviews are very important because they influence everything you do and every decision you make. That is why it’s important to know your worldview and to make sure it is in line with God’s word. It is also important to know your worldview because it affects your witness to others about God’s salvation. In Romans 1-8 Paul gives you some information that will help build a foundation for a biblical worldview. II. The Natural World
My view of the natural world is that God created everything. It says in Genesis 1:1 (NIV) “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” God can be seen everywhere you look in creation. Everytime I see

They started committing immoral acts and worshiping false Gods. They decided there way was better than Gods. Our culture today is the same as theirs. People still believe they know better than God and continue to do whatever they want. It says in Romans 2;12 (NIV) “All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law.” People need to turn from their sin and follow God before it is too late. God wants everyone to be repent and be saved, but they have to choose Him for themselves. No one can make someone believe in God. One day Jesus will return and when He does it will be too late for those who refused to believe. We do not know how much time we have so we need to witness to others whenever we get the chance.
VI. Conclusion
It is important to have a solid biblical worldview. This means that your worldview needs to have a strong foundation in the word of God. Your witness for God is more effective when you know what you believe and can back it up with scripture. I believe that God is the creator and that He is coming back someday to take us home to heaven. All we have to do is ask Him for forgiveness and believe in Him. God will give us eternal life and we will be with Him forever in heaven.
Realizing the Lord's objective when establishing the universe offers perspective to those within it, and allows them to understand how glorifying Him will always be critical. God continues
Ephesians 2:8 ~ For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God. We must understand that we have a different view of Jesus: Jesus is God versus Jesus is a
When talking about the bible it is not important to reach the conclusion on the conversation it is important to start the conversation. Interpretation of the bible needs to be an open mind. Some people are going to think differently of the bible than you; but you have to keep an open mind because there is no right or wrong answer. You also have to forget what everyone else is telling you about the bible to be able to have your view and interpret what you think of it with the opinion of other people. The bible does not only have one view and as Brueggemann states, “The Bible requires human interpretation which is inescapably subjective.”
Here, be that as it may, the creators need to exegete society. So, all individuals experience a suggested philosophy; that is, our lives pass on our feeling of how the world is and how it ought to be. Our activities and words make claims about God, truth, and significance. In the event that we don't know how to "peruse" the way of life, it is conceivable that our Biblical work will stay digest and unimportant
Worldview Worldview is how we view the world, things and beliefs around us through seeing, hearing. It helps us to answers questions about the makeup of the world and not to make assumptions or have the wrong interpretation to the explanations we are seeking. And finally worldview shows plays active part in our daily lives whether we believe it or not through resources such as television, education, magazines, science, government and other supporting materials. The Question of Origin – From a Christian worldview life begin by an all-powerful and magnificent being God (Genesis 1:1). God then brought for the creation of the heavens and earth along with the light, darkness, evening and morning to be dressed upon the earth.
For example in the the Iroquois Creation story it states “ the turtle increased every moment and became a considerable island of earth, and apparently covered with small bushes”(David Cusick). In this section of writing it states that the earth was formed on the back of a large turtles shell. In the Bible in Genesis chapter 1 verse 1 it states “ In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth”. In this part of writing it states that God had created the heavens and the earth.
When the Europeans arrived in North America, many changes came into the lives of indigenous peoples. These changes included things such as new weapons and horses, which made hunting easier, but Europeans also killed indigenous people, treated them as though they were less than human, and took their lands. These immoral things happened because of European desire for riches and glory. Because of this, the European impact on Native Americans should be seen as a moral question. Upon their arrival, Europeans saw indigenous people as heathens because of their religions and their difference in culture.
INTRODUCTION The authority of the Scripture is fundamental to evangelical faith and witness. But at the same time, not all evangelicals affirm the inerrancy of the scripture. Biblical inerrancy affirms that the biblical text is accurate and totally free from error of any kind. The difficulty in affirming the inerrancy of scripture does not seem to be so much on the spiritual and moral teachings of the Bible, however, the difficulty perhaps seems to emerge on the issue of accuracy in other disciplines such as history, science and acheology.
Striving to understand who God is and how he wants us to live is important to our worldviews. My worldview is virtually identical, and I agree with Kuyper’s worldview. Once we have tasted and seen God’s goodness, we should perceive
Jesus Christ’s life and teachings are the guide to peace in this life and joy in eternity. The gospel of Jesus Christ blesses all who accept and live it. God reveals his gospel through the use of prophets such as Adam, Noah, Abraham, and Moses. The Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ states, “Prophets teach us about God and are special witnesses of Jesus Christ, receive revelation or direction from the Lord, and teach the gospel to the world and interpret the word of God (4).” Prophets receive the priesthood and act in the name of God to lead his children.
Conclusion There are several factors to be used to help identify or recognize a person’s belief system. One reliable source is to simply ask the right questions in reference to their origin, identity, purpose, ethics, or destiny. Ask questions like “How did life begin”, “Why do you believe we exist”, or specifically to destiny “What are your beliefs on life and death?” (Weider & Gutierrez, Finding Your Worldview 2014) From a Biblical worldview, Christians are taught to use the Bible to find answers to questions of where life originates from, or what our purpose is.
Why is it important for Christians to have a God-centered worldview? From a Christian view, the
Kraft explores worldview functions in appendix A of “Christianity with Power.” He starts by overviewing worldview functions and universals. The four worldview functions are explaining, evaluating and validating, assigning and prioritizing commitments, interpreting, integrating, and adapting. The “explaining” function discusses how we, as a society, develop our picture of what REALITY looks like. The “evaluating and validating” function is to enable people to evaluate what goes on and around inside of them and validate common perceptions and behaviors.
Hesiod’s account of creation, as outlined in the Theogony offers one of the most detailed and accepted theories of creation in the Greek culture. On the other hand, the Biblical account of creation, regarded as a Hebrew culture creation account, is to date one of the most widely acknowledged and accepted versions across various cultures seeking explanations for the origin of life and the earth. However, even though these creation accounts originate from two different cultures, they share some thought-provoking parallels in terms of their content and intentions, as well as some contrasts that make each of the creation accounts unique. Both Hesiod’s and the biblical creation accounts are similar in that they argue that prior to the beginning of creation events, the earth was merely a void that had no shape or form and this void was filled with darkness.
(What is a world view? - definition & introduction). While, Byrom said that we are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world that is our worldview (Byrom, 1976/1993, p. 1).
