Apol 104 Worldview
Worldview is unique to each individual, it is the way each person views the world. Everyone’s worldview can be different due to perspectives on a topic or of an event. There are many filters that can be applied to a person’s worldview. A Biblical worldview is based on the bible.
The Question of Origin is, how did life begin? The biblical worldview is that God is the creator of the universe and all mankind. In Genesis 1 the bible states God created the heavens and the earth. In Psalms 139, David writes God is his creator.
The Question of Identity is, who are we? The biblical worldview is we are all a creation of God. Genesis 1 also states that we are created in God’s image and man is to rule over the fish, birds and every living thing that moves on earth.
The Question of Meaning or Purpose is, why do we exist? We exist to know and have a relationship with God. We exist to bring glory to God. Revelation 4, tells us we were created for God’s pleasure. 1 Corinthians 6, says our body is a temple…received from God.
The Question of Morality is, what is right or wrong based upon God’s scripture in the biblical worldview? Psalm 4, tells us “lift up the light of your countenance upon us, Lord” implying that what is good and bad will be impressed upon us.
