A worldview is a framework in which everyone views the world. A personal worldview is essential because it bases how one lives his life and makes daily decisions. In today’s culture there are numerous worldviews, but so many of them are wrong. I made the decision to base my beliefs off of the Bible and attempt to always have a Christian perspective in everything that I do. I try to model my actions, words, and thoughts after God in attempt to do all that he has created me to do. There are numerous components that make up a worldview. It is essential in life to know what one stand for and the ability to defend it.

To be forgiven of sins, each person needs to accept God into his heart, believe what He says to be true, and repent of past sins. By abiding by what the Bible says, any person is allowed to have a personal relationship with God if they truly want it. I believe God is omnipresent, though this is a difficult concept to grasp. God’s presence is too far beyond human recognition for us to even remotely start to comprehend. He is everywhere at the same time, always. One idea many struggle to understand what Christians mean when someone says that God is monotheist. Though He is monotheist, He is also a part of the Holy Trinity. One of the most difficult aspects of Christianity to understand is the Trinity, as God is also separated into three parts: the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. I believe God is Trinitarian and monotheistic. For baptisms, many pastors refer to Matthew 28.19, it says “...in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.” The most simple way I think to explain it would be that there is three divine beings but God manifests himself in different ways at different times. Another aspect of my worldview is that every person is created in God’s image and is made to serve God. Though an original sin made humans want to draw closer to their own fleshly desires and not God’s will, all humans contain good but still need God for
...ing a worldview requires very long and tedious consideration. It takes time to form and mold and be refined. Of course, no one’s worldview will be completely the same as another. Everyone is not going to agree and disagree on many of the same subjects. When one does establish a world view, they should be true and stick to that worldview. (Thomas Paine was loved by few and loathed by many, but was well respected for standing firm to what he believed.) In writing The Age of Reason, Paine’s goal was to get readers to contemplate on their own worldview. His goal was met and was very successful, although many people did not agree with what he believed and his worldview. Although I disagree with most of what he said, I respect him for staying true to himself and his beliefs. The worldview that I have now, will more than likely, remain with me through the rest of my life.
What is a worldview? A worldview is an idea or thought that manifest in our brain but is originated from how we perceive and feel towards events that happen during our life. The opinions we express outwardly in action disseminates to others with whom we surround ourselves with, and vise versa. Collectively we take in worldviews and judge them to our own view, and settle on a conscious agreement to what we hold to be truth.
Having an impact on an individual’s life is their worldview. A worldview influences your thoughts and . This is their point of view and how they interpret and relate to the world. It shapes their interactions and behaviors to those around them (Waddell, 2014). One key element to an individual’s worldview relates to ethics. These may be shaped by what someone believes and what they have experienced while growing up. Ethics is an individual’s morals, their sense of what is right and what is wrong (Hiles & Smith, 2014).
Everyone has a worldview with main characteristics that are ever changing. Different sources influence this framework such as parenting, friendship, telecommunication or internet media, educational and religious sectors. Hindson and Caner (2008) propose standardization methods of worldview are measured either by emotions and feelings, socialism, or the truth (Hindson & Caner, 2008, p.499). Recognition of a person’s worldview can be found based on ones answer to several reality questions surrounding God (origin), human nature (identity), reality (meaning/purpose), after life (destiny), values (morality or ethics).
...dea of what my worldview is. I know that my religion, family, and career choice have a huge impact on it. I can also see why my worldview, which is rooted in Christianity, is more superior to the New Age worldview that is becoming more prevalent in our world today.

A worldview can be defined as a set of beliefs by which you live your life. This means that everything you say and do is defined by your worldview or set of beliefs. A biblical worldview is a God centered belief system, one where everything that you do is filtered through your belief in God and the Bible. MacCullough (2012) says, “These beliefs are the answers we hold to the basic questions
All people have a worldview that is based on personal beliefs forming their reality and what they feel is meaningful in life.

The Book of Romans 1-8 provides the word of God and answers for how Christians can live a righteous life for our savior Jesus Christ.

A worldview is an opinion on how you see society as a whole. Each person’s worldview is impacted by their culture, religion, family friends, etc. I am a Pentecostal Christian and a Romanian and these two aspects impact my worldview immeasurably. Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior and He died on the cross for each person on this Earth. Even though each person has sinned and turned their backs on God countless times, Christ was always there for us no matter what we did. His love is greater than any love we have ever encountered and His grace is immensely great. How do we know who God is and the nature of the universe, what is our purpose and what happens when we die, and how do we know right from wrong are some of the main question people ask themselves.
We are all searching for a reason Why. Why are we here? What is our soul purpose. Different people come up with different theories to answer these questions. Who’s to say they are wrong? Three of the most interesting theories are those of the Renaissance, Aztecs, and Japan. We all believe in something, there must be something.Believe is a sense, it’s that voice, that guides you through your way. Its’ a way of explaining the world. Where do we come from?, why do we act like we do? That’s what we want! Answers for our questions. I think that Beliefs is the most important element of worldview because if we don’t believe in something, we cannot explain the world, we can’t answer those question, we cannot explain why things happen. We need to

Although we may not all see eye to eye, we all still have our own worldview. The central idea of a worldview is to be the different beliefs that is an understanding of how we see the world around us. It will be understood by how a person feels about different emotions and ideas that are encountered on a daily basis. A worldview is a response of our heart or inner being: our intellect, emotion and will.

A worldview perspective shapes, influences, and generally directs a person's entire life. (Samples 2007)
My personal worldview and what I believe- the 8 questions from the Sire book: (Sire, 2009, p. 22-23)
Like most teenagers, my worldview has been shaped by the background to which I have been exposed. I am a product of my family, school, church and social experiences. Admittedly, mine is a worldview that is relatively narrow. A weeklong experience during the first month of my senior year has dramatically changed the rose-colored glasses through which I see the world.
My mission is to live each day positively in God’s eyes, honestly and passionately so that every day I am one step closer to reaching my dreams and helping others believe in theirs. I will be committed to inspiring others to be more than they think that they can be and I will be a continual learner committed to excellence in all aspects of life.
