They see the Bible and all the things and plans God has for us and our lives and just think they don’t want any part of it and instead they live in sin. It is important that these people not only learn the true story but understand it as well.

    The Galatians were teaching the only way to be saved was by following the law of Judaism. In fact, Moses was given the law to be handed down, which he did but Jesus Christ fulfilled the law that was given to Moses. With that being said, Jesus Christ is the way to salvation. Thus, Jesus Christ was sent to us to save us and this is exactly what Paul was teaching the Galatians. “ Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” (Galatians 1:3-5,

    My own definition of worldview is set of beliefs about the most important issues in life and my reaction to it. While in agreement with Jeff Baldwin’s eyeglass concept, I choose to compare my Christian worldview to an internal navigational system. When I am lost and need to be found, Christ is omnipresent. He knows my location and guides me into another direction. “It’s a roadmap, a guide for getting around in life, for interpreting reality, and for making choices” (The Importance of Worldview, 2011, p.11). Hopefully my final destination will be in the “city of gold, as clear as glass” (NLT, Revelation, 21:18).

    "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death" (Rom 8:1-2). Paul believes if you are in Christ Jesus, then you will be saved. Because of Jesus' selflessness, he has freed us from sin and death. God had created the world through wisdom and with Adam we then were under the reign of sin. Then, with the resurrection of Jesus, He freed us from the law and we entered into a period of grace with God. We are living by the Spirit in an era of grace, so therefore we should be dead to sin. Paul explains this in greater detail in the beginning of Romans in 3:9.

    He says that living among the believers in Rome are non-believers and that our responsibility as believers is to teach the gospel of God to them. The Jews were special because they had the Law. However, just by knowing the Law does not guarantee eternal life or that you can lead a sinful life. In ordinance with the Law, Jews had to be circumcised. However, if you were still living a sinful life, your circumcision meant nothing. It would be as if you don’t know the Lord our God. There were not only Jews in Rome but Gentiles as well. Even though the Gentiles don’t have the Law, they could be saved though their faith in Jesus Christ. God sent His one and only son to die for our sins, Paul says we need to focus a lot more of our attention on God rather than on
