A Closer Look into Christian Worldview
God is the creator of the world. In the Bible the book of Genesis says, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1). God is the Sovereign Creator of the world, (Lecture Notes 2, 2015). Without the Lord we would not have life itself.
God possesses more than attribute. God is goodness, kindness, faithfulness, compassion, justice, love, and holiness, (Lecture Notes 2, 2015). God has supreme authority and absolute power over all things. In the Bible the book of Psalm it refers to God being transcendent and that he is eternal, infinite, omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient, immutable and incomprehensible, (Psalm145). God is the ultimate reality for Christians. As the sovereign creator …show more content…

Humanity was created in the image of God and spirit beings like him which is discussed in Genesis 1: 26-27. “The Christian worldview has two major assertions about human nature. First humans are created in the image of God, (Genesis 1:26-28).” (Hiles, 2015). “The second is after the fall of Adam and Eve into sin, all humans are sinful by nature (Genesis 6:5; Romans 3:9-23)”, (Hiles, 2015). The human purpose is to have a personal relationship with God and to live by the way of the Bible. It is important to spread the word of the Lord. After Adam and Eve caused the fall to humanity pain and sin was introduced to the world. The root cause of human problems is sin. This is why it is important to try not to sin and live by the ways of the …show more content…

The solution to solving this problem is to confess our sins to God and ask for forgiveness and the Lord to come into our hearts and to save us so that when we die we go to Heaven and have everlasting life. “Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear,” (Isaiah 59:1-2). This means that there is never no sin that God will not take into consideration to forgive you for, you just have to ask for him to forgive you when you confess to committing it. “God is Light” (1 John 1:5). “This is significant for the discussion of confession,” (Simenon, 2014). God also wants us to forgive others just like he does for us and not hold grudges against other people. We are supposed to love one another just like it says in Ephesians 4: 32, “Forgive others as Christ forgave you.” Another verse in the Bible comes to mind and it is, “Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that cruse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despite fully use you, and persecute you,” (Matthew 5:43-44). Faith and grace play an important role is Christian salvation because it is imperative to being positive and believing that Jesus will come back for the saved Christians one day to

Fr. Augustine answered many of my questions. He also talked about something the other sources barely touched on, forgiving yourself. There are many quotes in the Bible about the importance of forgiveness, such as “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” Luke 23:32.

There are two types of contrition or sorrow for what you did. You can either be sorry for what you did because you truly believe it to be wrong or you are truly sorry for hurting God known as perfect contrition (Perfect and Imperfect Contrition). The other form of contrition or being sorry for our sins is imperfect contrition, which is being sorry because you fear going to hell or what God will do to you (Perfect and Imperfect Contrition). Both contrition’s are acceptable for the forgiveness of a mortal sin but perfect contrition is seen as more sorrowful or a better reason for being sorry since your are intrinsically sorry and really love God

Once there has been acceptance then you will easily be forgiven, peoples perspectives of you will change, when John said “My honesty is broke, Elizabeth, I am no good man.” shows he is no longer afraid to speak the truth, no matter how much it shames him. We learn that perspectives change and people change when guilt is admitted, when Elizabeth says “And yet you’ve confessed till now. That speak goodness in you.”. Letting go of guilt can free someone of the weights that carry them down, they must admit to themselves before they admit it to others, when Elizabeth says “It come to naught that I should forgive you, if you’ll not forgive yourself”, we learn that one should not seek forgiveness from others, if they have not forgiven themselves.

When we ask people about their thoughts on how the world was created, the first idea that comes to mind is the story of Genesis. Most people generally assume that there is only one account of creation, the account that portrays God as the sole creator since in the Genesis account he creates heaven, earth, man/woman, and other living things. However, Genesis is not the only face of creation because religious texts from different cultures tell us otherwise. In ancient near east religions, there are two creation myths that give their own different accounts. While some details of the Genesis account are similar to the Enuma Elish of Babylon and the Memphite Theology of Egypt, each account individually brings their own nationalistic pride and personal touch.

It’s only a fortunate few who are given the chance to atone for their sins. Committed sins create problem between friend, family and others. Forgiveness is not an easy thing to do when things have gone extremely wrong. “To err is human, to forgive divine” (Charu. B) That means committing errors is human, to forgive is divine.

A healed sin becomes reconciling friendship, becoming a source for fuller healing that embraces all. One can only redeem their sin if their redemption is done by heart and is meaningful. People who do not experience forgiveness, guilt swallows them up and they feel as if they are drowning. As Richard Baxter said, “that sorrow, even for sin, may be overmuch. That overmuch sorrow swalloweth one up.”

Gen. 1:26-27 says, “Let us make humankind in our image, according to our likeness. 27.So God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.” As Christians, we tend to pride ourselves on the idea that humankind was made in God’s image. However, in reality, we as believers still have yet to know what it means to be made like in God’s image.

God is the sole creator of the universe, forming it in a series of distinct stages over six days (English Standard Version Bible, 2001, Gen. 1). The moral aspect of this story arises from Adam and Eve's disobedience when they eat the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge, which results in their expulsion from the Garden of Eden (English Standard Version Bible, 2001, Gen. 3). This event, known as the Fall, introduces the concept of original sin, highlighting the imperfection of humanity. These two creation narratives provide valuable insights into the way different cultures perceive the beginnings of the universe.

OF GOD IN CHRISTIANITY The monotheistic faiths conceive God as Supreme Being and central figure of faith (Honderich 137). Theologians ascribe qualities like omniscience (all-wise), omnipresence (all-pervasive), omnipotence (all-powerful) and immortality. Additionally, God has been attributed with characteristics like omnibenevolence (infinitely good) and all-loving. God envisioned by Christian faith is the eternal entity and the creator of the universe and sustains it.
