Worldview Essay
My Christian Worldview Essay
My worldview is Christianity which is the belief that there is only one God and that he created the universe and everything in it. We were created to fulfill his purpose on Earth. Christianity is also the belief that when you die, if you are a Christian and believe in God, you will spend eternity with him in heaven. From a Christian viewpoint, I intend to show through this essay how I perceive God, the human being and what happens to us when we die, the nature of our universe, where our knowledge comes from and how we apply that ethically to our lives, our purpose here, and my commitments as a Christian.
To explain the Characteristics of our creator is hard and yet so simple. God is Our Father and that is exactly the kind of relationship he desires to have with us. He is the King of Kings and yet he takes the time to know us personally. God is the creator of the universe and everything in it. He is a loving and forgiving God who truly wants a relationship with each of his children. The Bible tells us that he is also a jealous God and he expects us to put nothing or no one before him (Exodus 34:14 KJV).
A human being is just an earthly body. Genesis reveals that mankind was created in God’s image (Genesis 1:26-28 KJV). God tell us our bodies are a temple and we are meant to take care of them, but we are not supposed to worship them. Eventually your earthly body will die, however if you are a Christian, then your soul is eternal. We have so much to look forward to in heaven. Our earthly bodies are corrupt with sin, sickness, and pain. While the human body is designed to age over time and wear down, our heavenly bodies are designed for eternity. Our heavenly bodies will know no pain and like our soul will live eternally with the Father. There is no greater gift than eternity.
I have found through discussions on the nature of the universe that this is where so many different worldviews
