Worldview Assignment

In the book, Consider, Dr. Lew Weider and Dr Ben Gutierrez suggested five key questions to identify an individual’s worldview. Many religions use sacred texts as a guide to live a certain lifestyle. For Christians, the Bible is the key source in identifying Christian worldviews. Christians believe that God is one and the creator of all things. God is the answer to why there is something rather than nothing. In the Bible, (Genesis 1:1) tells us that God created the Heavens and the earth. In (2 Peter 1:21) identifies God as the first foundation. The scripture expresses that mankind is a special creation of God. (Psalms 8:5) said God created mankind above the animal and man was created, “a little lower than the angels.” Mankind is responsible to take care of God’s creations. In versus (1 John 3:1-3) the bible states “we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him” (Crossway Bibles , 2001). Christianity is about a relationship with God more so than the tenants of a religion. Christians interpret the bible as God’s plan to teach man. Some skeptics may ask “Why Do I exist?” (Genesis 1:28) God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” (Meaning And Purpose, 2001) In (John17:3) the purpose of mankind is to know God and Jesus Christ whom he sent. A person may ask, “How shall I live?” “What is right and what is wrong in the eyes of God? Christians believe man is born a sinner (Psalms 51:5). He cannot save himself. Christians believe that if you don't have a Christian world view u have no basis for stability morality or hope. People are morally neutral with the capacity to do good
