What is a worldview, and why is it important? These are the questions we should ask ourselves when thinking about how we perceive the world around us. A worldview is simply the framework from which we view reality and make sense of life and the world. As Christians our worldview is especially important in correlation with our faith and how we see our fellow man. Armed with biblical teachings we must apply them to our lives and how we interact with those around us in a way that the Lord would approve of. Studying scripture can build up and strength our Christian worldview. Many Books and passages in the bible touch up human identity, human relationships, and culture. Romans 1-8 are one of those Books that we can apply to the world around us. …show more content…

In romans human identity is also explained further most of them are sinful as “ they are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parent’ (Romans 1:30). We as humans were bore coming into the world as sinners none of us are sinless. We have to repent our sins as Christians and give our lives to God. Many people fail to do this and just live their whole life in sin and are content with never repenting and never allowing the Lord in their hearts. I believe our identity is clear we are God’s creation, and were created in his image. The sin in the Garden of Eden introduced sin to mankind and caused the fall of man. To an extent Rome in Paul’s day was no different then our world today. Similarities also between our world today and Paul’s also extend to human …show more content…

When people began to reject God their cultural norms began to decay. This was especially true in Rome in Paul’s time Romans 1:26-27 states “even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received themselves the due penalty for their error” (Romans: 26-27). Our different cultures can make us unique and cultural actions are not always of a sinful nature. God’s law is of great importance and should be the foundation of a proper culture. Many of us have different views but we should remember to not let them stray from the word of

As Christians, we are to be unified with creation and we have been given a major responsibility of dominion over creation. All creation is covenantally bound to God. As humans, we are God’s creatures living in His kingdom, made in His image, and are called to be good stewards of His kingdom. This sums up the first two worldview questions. The third worldview question is summed up by human disobedience.

“The “reflective” nature of human identity. God so constitutes human beings with the purpose of reflecting him in the created order that it is essential to their identity that this reflection ‘fill the earth’ (Gen: 1:28) (pg. 33).” The reflective nature of human would not exist without the Creator. Using Romans 1:23 Lints describes the depths of human identity and the worshipping of other gods falsely created.

According to Nicholi Jr. (2002) our worldview, “helps us understand where we come from, our heritage; who we are, our identity; why we exist on this planet, our purpose; what drives us, our motivation; and where we are going, our destiny” (p. 7). The biggest strength of a worldview is that it enables an individual to form a theory of his or her own reality. The individual then utilizes this concept of reality and its ideals to understand the world in which they live in. For instance, my Christian Worldview is solely based on the solid foundation of God’s inspired Word.

My worldview, as I have always know, is Christianity. I grew up in the church, in the church community, and it was all I knew for the majority of my life. Christianity is the largest religion in the world today and it is centered on Jesus Christ (Anderson, 2014). The Christian worldview says that there is a personal God who is perfect in all of His ways. While we have a loving God who is perfect in all of His ways, we humans went against our Creator, corrupted ourselves, and placed ourselves under His judgement.

The worldview that best explains this book is the Dominant Western Worldview (DWW). This view explains that humans dominate all other living organisms on the planet, and with that we hold the power and responsibility to control what our destiny is. Humanity is one of progress and for every problem, the world provides unlimited opportunities for humans to succeed (Buttel 470). This is proved to be true within the text of Silent Spring as human’s attempt to combat the insect infestations by using harmful chemicals. Throughout the text the consequences of these actions are learned.

As Christians, personal identity is not found in what one believes about himself or what others say about him. Our identity is found Christ alone, who has called us beautiful and His own. Through His redemptive power, all Christians are made pure and righteous. This does not mean that Christians are perfect human beings, but it does mean that Christians have the means to live better lives then before one received Christ as Savior. The Bible says that old things have passed away, and all things are made new through Christ Jesus and it goes on to say that we are a new creation.

It is said that when we are born, our hands are closed, as if we are holding something, well I believe that we are, and that something is knowledge of who we are and why we are here. Reason why people feel “lost “is because they lack knowledge as the book of Isiah 5: 13 “therefore my people will go into exile for lack of understanding…” (Bible, 2011) this is exactly what is happening, people are so caught up in what the world thinks they are and therefore have lost their purpose. My world view is built upon that of Christian world view, I believe that we are created in God’s image and according to His PURPOSE not our own. I believe that God created man not for them to satisfy their own personal desires but His desire and that is, to GLORIFY
