Recommended: How is religion important

Our worldview defines who we are. In religion, the Christian Worldview is part of a Monotheistic worldview which is part of the three worldviews families which also includes, Pantheism and Atheism. Christianity is special in the Monotheistic view as we believe that Jesus Christ provided us with Salvation; a notion not shared by Muslims and Jews. In this paper, I will explain the essential elements of the Christian Worldview, why faith in Jesus Christ is an essential part of our lives here on earth, and how my faith has impacted my life.
God
The bible does not give a definition of God, but there are many earthly comparisons to describe what He is. In chapter 2 of our textbook, there is a good description that can apply to God in DiVincenzo …show more content…

I was raised by a single mom until I was seven and faith and Christianity were not part of our lives. My mom married my stepdad, who adopted me and taught us both about his strength faith in Jesus Christ and the Catholic church. I attended Catholic grade school and while I felt like I was going through the motions at the time, as an adult it was very formative. I fell away from the Church in early adulthood and didn’t know why I felt so lost. I met my future wife and she reintroduced me to the Christian faith at her Methodist church. We married and after many trials and tribulations she felt that becoming Catholic was the path for her. I reestablished myself as a practitioner of my faith and she joined me. I think I have a different perspective by not being a Christian from birth and really finding Jesus Christ as an adult. I realize now, that He gives us so much love and strength. I am Christian because I feel it gives me purpose in my life because I know Jesus Christ provides me Salvation to be able to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Atheists attempt to create their heaven on earth. This may make them feel good about themselves and impress their friends, but it is fleeting. They have no hope of eternal life. The Pantheistic people can also only see their path as creating a better version of themselves, sometimes in a never ending reincarnation cycle where they find fulfillment as just a human

    If as believers we fail to completely trust the Word of God and form our life under its direction then our witness will become misleading and even confusing. Believer’s effort in diligently understanding, applying and holding full trust to the word of God in all aspects of our life will be instrumental in building our faith. Such a faith will elevate us to enable us rise above the unrelenting wave of our culture’s non-biblical ideologies. Biblical worldview is very important in order to develop a life, which can be emulated by others in diligence, integrity and honesty in the modern society (Tackett, 2014).

    The foundation of a Christian worldview is the belief in a personal God, creator and ruler of the universe. The Christian worldview views the world through God’s word, providing the framework for humanity to live by giving meaning and purpose to life. It defines who Jesus is, human nature, and how salvation is achieved. In essence it is the basis of which Christians behave, interact, interpret life and comprehend reality. A Christian worldview imparts confidence, answers to life’s problems, and hope for the future. In this paper I will discuss the essentials of a Christian worldview and an analysis of the influences, benefits, and difficulties sustaining the Christian faith.

  • What is Worldview?

    1025 Words  | 3 Pages

    Recognition of a person’s worldview can be found based on one’s answer to several reality questions surrounding God (origin), human nature (identity), reality (meaning/purpose), after life (destiny), values (morality or ethics). My own definition of worldview is a set of beliefs about the most important issues in life and my reaction to them. While in agreement with Jeff Baldwin’s eyeglass concept, I choose to compare my Christian worldview to an internal navigation system. When I am lost and need to be found, Christ is omnipresent. He knows my location and guides me in another direction.

    How can business participate in God’s redemptive plan? Many of the struggles faced in the business world by Christians is filtered though the question of, “how can God’s redemptive plan be incorporated at my level of influence, when I am not a part of the decisions being made within my company”. Adopting a worldview is key as Keller put it, “at a day-to-day level, our worldview will shape our individual interactions and decisions” (Keller 158). Whether your worldview is biblical or not, it is holistic. As a Christian your work is neither for self nor for man but rather it is for the Lord (Keller 221). An employer or employee, who is a believer, seeks to please God in the work that they perform because everything that they ever needed was

    Faith is a human response to God’s Revelation. It is a surrender of our whole self to God’s will and a complete trust in him. Faith is a supernatural gift from God that we must work at in order to grow wiser and to understand God better. Faith can change daily based on the situation and must be worked at every single day. Faith is a supernatural grace that opens our lives to possibilities beyond our day to day experience. Faith is guided and inspired by the Holy Spirit. Faith is expressed in different practices such as prayer, service, and justice. My faith is moderate at this moment. It is not as strong as it probably should be but it is not low enough to where it would need severe attention. It is that way right now probably because I am constantly surrounded with ant-Christian or anti-God views and it can be difficult to ignore or overcome these views at all times. My Faith is the strongest when I am in the company of other believers and am supported in my Faith. This was especially true when I volunteered for a Luke 18 retreat and was chosen to be a disciple. The responsibilities that came with this job included leading a small group and giving a talk. The weekend really opened my eyes and I grew in faith a lot over the course of the retreat. A time in my life where my faith has been weak was during my seventh grade year of school. I had gone to a Catholic school from kindergarten to sixth grade, but during seventh grade year my family moved and I started going to a public school. This situation really tested my Faith because unlike at my old school, not everyone was Catholic or even Christian. Religion was completely shut out of everything and it was difficult to cope with. This made it hard for me to continue and better my ...

    In conclusion, my worldview encapsulates the fact that a God exists and he has created the human race in his image. Being created in his image, I am bestowed with God’s character of love, kindness, righteousness, forgiveness, and all other great attributes expressed by him. Our duty as those who claim the title “Christian” is to live with a Christ like attitude and to walk the walk instead of just talking the talk. I need to put my knowledge, talents, and skills to work for Christ till his return. The choice to live my life for him is what gives my life meaning and purpose.

    When it comes to discussing any religion worldviews with anyone it’s a very touchy subject to talk about. It’s a subject I just don’t get into or politics, no one is ever wrong. It turns into a heated discussion, there religion is never wrong and their beliefs. The challenge that I had was their arrogance, stubbornness and hardheadedness. I can understand anyone’s worldview and I respect their believes, you cannot change or move anyone from their solid ground, it’s just, it is what it is. God is the center of the belief system, and this is the point, of the center of the worldview conflicts. I believe that god saw fit to provide information to his people in his word to have a more perfect worldview, and to speak Christ

    A biblical worldview is a vital tool in any Christian’s toolbox. Without a biblical worldview how are Christians supposed to look through rose-colored classes at the world.

A biblical worldview is how a Christian looks at the world and the events in the world, and responds to what they see.

    I began this course thinking my worldview was that of a Christian Theist, as I had come to discover, as the course progressed, my worldview was a mixed bag of beliefs outside the elementary belief of Christian Theism. I was not disheartened by this finding, but surprised. The realization then set in that I was uneducated or did not know God like I thought. In fact my beliefs appeared to be more influenced by society than the deity of God. Fortunately, this is a learning experience intended to bring me closer to the truths of Christianity and an understanding of the beliefs of others.
