Biblical Worldview Research Paper

Worldview Paper

Part 1

Worldview is how you view certain views from a certain perspective, such as a Christian worldview would be how you view certain views from a Christian perspective. Everything in life is affected by worldview and everyone has one. As Christians, our worldview is using the Bible for our starting on our views. An example of a worldview is, according to the article “What is a Christian Worldview?”, “Christianity as taught in the Bible is itself a worldview.” 77 words.

Part 2

Every story that we have read has a beginning, a starting point. The question ‘how did life begin’ has different stories behind it depending on where you choose to read and research. It all comes down to what a person believes in their heart to be true. In Genesis 1.1, “In the

beginning, God created….” this sentence states it all. God is the beginning of our story. Genesis also states that, “God created a man in his own image”, this simply means that mankind was created also by God.
To be human means to live our lives making a difference, realizing that we are all different, and that was how God intended for us to be. God made man out of an image of himself so we should constantly be trying to live up to those standards, always wanting to do his will. Human and animals are alike in most ways when it comes to importance because in Genesis 6:12 God told Noah to not only bring 2 of all mankind but to also “bring two of everything-from the birds according to their kind…”. This tells that the animals carry importance as well. In Genesis 1:25 it states that “rule the fish of the sea…” humans were instructed to rule and take care of the animals.
We exist because God wanted us to exist. He wanted the wonderful story he began to continue and to prosper and for all to live their lives spreading and doing his work. We are here to continue the journey that he started all those many years ago. In Matthew 5:16 it states “let your light shine before men”, this is saying that God wants us to live through him and be strong enough in our faith that others will want to live that way as well.
The question as to how we should live is clearly defined in Exodus 20:1 where it lists the 10 Commandments. The first commandments states “Honor thy father and thy mother”, this gives us the foundation for which we will grow. God also clearly instructed Adam on what was the right and wrong thing for him to do in the beginning. In Genesis 3:22 it states that “God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil”.

These 2 questions are difficult ones.

A person truly has to have faith in the word of God to know what will happen to them when they die. Christians are taught that there are 2 endings in death, one is heaven and the other is hell. If a persona has lead a good Christian life, their reward will be to go to Heaven, if they have not they will be punished in Hell. It all comes down to what kind of person you choose to be in life as what will happen to you in death.

Part III

The biblical worldview influences me in how I treat others on a daily basis in that I can always be kind and treat others respectfully the way that I want to be treated. I may not always know what a person is going through or has been through in their lives to make them do or say the wrong things but I can control how I respond to it. I want to live my life so that others look up to me and want to do the right things because they see how much of a difference it makes in my life.

The biblical worldview influences me with deciding on what career would be best for me and how I should do it. Decision making is sometimes difficult for some people, unless they feel God has given them a “calling” in a certain career

field.
