WORLDVIEW ASSIGNMENT
NOVEMBER 11, 2013
Part One: A worldview does not just appear one day. It is a view that you have your entire life which helps outline the way you choose to live your life. In the book, Life Answers by Ken Hemphill states, “A worldview is our underlying perspective of life.” Each person’s worldview helps them make a choice in a way that they may see the world.
Part Two:
The Question of Origin- The worldview of a Christian is that God created everything from the earth to heaven, and everything. In Genesis 1 it explains in detail how God created everything is 6 days; while in Psalms 8:3-9 it discusses the origin of everything that is in existence, giving all the praise to God.
The Question of Identity- The worldview of a Christian is that God created man. Genesis 1:27 is the main support, which teaches that God created man in his own image. We are set apart from other animals and ideas such as evolution and chance. 1 Corinthians 15:39 explains how the flesh of animals is differentiated by God from that of man.
The Question of Mean/Purpose- Meaning and purpose are defined and provided by the sacrifice of Christ on the cross and His rise from the tomb three days later. John 17:3 gives a simple explanation of meaning of our lives which are simply to know God. Each Christian purpose on earth is set out in Matthew 28:19-20 when Jesus provides our great commission and purpose.
The Question of Morality- The worldview of a Christian accounts for man’s shortcomings, need for morality and forgiveness in Romans 3:23. Our morality in a nutshell is a very basic principle discussed in John 13:34 when Jesus teaches that we should love everyone equally. Although this teaching of morality is fairly simply it can also offer a concise answer to the question of morality for a worldview of a Christian.
