In this week’s Christian worldview we looked at Philippian's chapters two and four. In chapter two we are looking at putting others needs and interest first and in chapter four we are looking at doing the right thing through God’s help. Paul explains the benefits of us living our lives with the mindset of Christs. Chapter two of Philippians reminds us that Jesus laid down his own needs to sacrifice for us and our sins as human beings so that we could restore our relations with God. Because of this, we can regain eternal life. He tells us that our needs are not important but we as Christians should put others needs ahead of ours if we are true believers. If we live each day with this mindset, then we give all our trust and faith to God.
He will guide us to help others and do the right thing. I think that most Christians do this. We do from time to time go astray but most of us find our ways back and ask for forgiveness and try to do better. I think that this is something that each of us must really work at. It does not come easily to put others above your own needs. Paul also teaches us that it is important that we value the interest and needs of others before our own. The next chapter that we took a deeper look at this week was chapter 4 of Philippians. This chapter is devoted to rejoicing in the Lord. We as Christians should be well grounded in our faith to give thanks and praise for our many blessings provided by God. If we give thanks and praise, we will be supplied with all that we need. As it is stated in Philippians 4:19, “my God shall supply all of our needs” (The Holy Bible). Paul makes sure through this that we have faith that God will guide us to always do the right thing by caring for others first before ourselves especially when doing research. We want the safety of our participants and others that our research affects to be safe always. It also guides us to do the right thing in each of the research steps.
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.
As we have looked in to the Christian worldview of God, our humanity, the Son of God, and the restoration of our lives back into God’s purpose. Now we have a better understanding of what it means to be a member of the Christian community. God wants believers to dwell in union and in community having the same mind that is in Jesus Christ (Phil 2:1-11). This paper showed how God and Jesus Christ are at the fundamental core of all Christian beliefs regardless of the countless differences many Christians may
A Christian worldview leads us to believe in moral absolutes, miracles, human dignity, and the possibility of redemption. True Christianity is more than a set of ideas used at church. Christianity, as taught in the Bible, is itself a worldview. The Bible never dis...
The Christian Worldview consists of the Creator, His Creation and His son. The story began thousands of years ago and is still relevant today. This paper will give you a glimpse of the three main characters, how they relate to each other, and why I believe this is the only worldview that provides truth and hope for my life.
The Apostle Paul rights about the conviction of the heart (Romans 2:15), when as Christians our perception of right and wrong is only justified by a common morality of other Christian believers. How instead we should live is in our justification of our savior, giving to him our body, sprite and mind and all he asks of it. By using the meaning of our life and our talents to influence those with the naturalistic and pantheism beliefs, shows our God is the creator and alive (Hebrews 11:32-40).
In trying to understand Philippians 2:5-11 it is equally important to understand what is going on both before this passage occurs and what happens after. Paul is writing a letter to the church in Philippi and unlike some of his other letters he is filled with joy when writing to them. Immediately his letter begins with praise and thanksgiving directed towards the Philippians due to their kindness and provisions that they had consistently provided for Paul while he was in Prison. Paul then goes on to write about the fact that his imprisonment has advanced the Gospel of Christ. Paul then continues on to talk about the way in which the Philippians need to compose themselves and tells them to “stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the gospel” (1:27). He says this because at the time the Philippians had a lot of forces that opposed them, just as Christ did when he was here on earth. Rather then becoming boastful or prideful Paul urges the Philippians to be like a servant who gives all the glory to God and not upon oneself. This then leads him into 2:5-11.
The essay, “A Christian World View,” by Mickenzie Neely seeks to address some major themes that pertain to a Christian worldview. The essay, in summary, states that “serving others, accepting and giving grace, sacrifice, and justice are all essential to living for Christ.” This essay was presented in a way in which she used facts and scriptures from the Bible to support her point. This paper will analysis Neely’s main arguments and will evaluate my opinion of her writing. The main topics that apply to my Christian worldview are love, service, grace and forgiving.
The Christian worldview is centered on the Gospel and places their beliefs in the essential teachings of the Trinity, the deity of Jesus Christ, and Jesus’ resurrection from the dead (DiVincenzo, 2015). This paper will explain who God is and what he created, what our purpose and nature is as humans, who Jesus was and what he did while on earth, how God plans to bring his people back into the right relationship with himself, and as a Christian how one is to live their life with an analysis of the Christian worldview.
There are several aspects to consider when exploring the Christian worldview. There are many facets or denominations and they each have their own distinct beliefs and practices, but they all share the same fundamental beliefs. In this Paper we will explore the character of God, His creation, humanity and its nature, Jesus’ significance to the world, and the restoration of humanity, as well as my beliefs and the way that I interact with Christianity and my personal worldview.
I would like to explore one of the questions posed to us by Professor which is “How can we make the positive aspects of postmodernism work in our favor?” Or even more specifically, the positive and neutral elements of postmodernism, work in the favor of the Christian worldview and thought. We will start by first exploring the basic tenants of postmodernism and a brief history of where it has been and where it is currently, revealing multiple advantages for the Christian worldview in the engagement of a postmodern.
A worldview is a philosophy of life or concept of the world: ‘a Christian world view revolves around the battle of good and evil’ (University, 1884). A person’s worldview can be affected by many factors in life – it can be affected by their inherited characteristics, by their life situations and their background experiences , by their values in life, by their attitudes and lastly their habits that they developed in life and many more factors, all these factors can vary from one person to another.
“First, there is the call to be a Christian. Second, for each individual there is a specific call—a defining purpose or mission, a reason for being. Every individual is called of God to respond through service in the world. Third, there is the call that we face each day in response to the multiple demands on our lives—our immediate duties and responsibilities” (Smith, ...
This discussion post will give a homiletical idea and introduction to the scripture Philippians 4:1-2. The idea taken from this scripture is, Turn Your Conflicts into Kind-heartedness.
That’s why this theme of suffering and perseverance taught by Paul in Philippians 1:27-29 is so important and monumental to the Christian faith. When you sum up what Paul says and think about Christ you realize that Christ loved us and suffered a harsh death so that we might be free from eternal death. So Christ came to serve humanity and suffered doing so, and in turn when we serve Christ we suffer and partake and the same kind of suffering Jesus had to endure for doing what is right.
Acceptance of others as unique expressions of specific character qualities in varying degrees of maturity (Philippians 2:2)
