A Christian Worldview Of God's Love Concurs All

God’ Love Concurs ALL
Through my experience I have noticed that unknowledgeable people make up their own essence of Christianity. One might believe that you just need to be a “good person” and do “good deeds,” and another would say just as long as you attend Church. I believe these are more of what we do as a Christian. However, the foundation of Christianity is understanding & believing the death and resurrection of Jesus. The Christian worldview is based on confessing sins and giving one’s life to the Lord. Turning away from the evil desires of this world and awaiting what God has in store for us in Heaven. The worldview of Christians is that this material world belongs to the devil and we must fight

God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them (1 John 4:16). God himself is the best definition of love. If we truly know God we will understand what true love is all about. Love is Jesus giving his life for us. I believe we should love others, because God loves us unconditionally. God’ characteristic of being personal sets him apart from the so-called “gods” of other religions. He is the Creator of the Universe and knows every detail of his creation; God is all-knowing, ever present, and all-powerful (Matthew 10:29-31). I feel like we are not able to live pleasing to God until we truly love him with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength! The greatest demonstration of love is when God died on the cross for us as …show more content…
I feel that we all have a purpose, meaning, reason for living, which are all things we desire and search for in life. No matter what steps we take to find a purpose and meaning in life, we still feel empty, unfulfilled. I believe this is because there is a spiritual emptiness in each of our lives, a hole in our heart. Possessions, success, drugs, relationships, even religion alone cannot satisfy this emptiness. The only way to fill this void is to ask for forgiveness and accept Jesus into your heart. However, we all have a serious problem we sin because we are sinners! King David wrote “For I was born a sinner-yes, from the moment my mother conceived me

    We sinned against God and subjected the whole world to a curse. God Himself has redeemed the world through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ. I know that one day he will restore creation to its former perfect state (Isaiah 65:17-25). A Christian worldview leads us to believe in moral absolutes, miracles, human dignity, and the possibility of redemption. Assessing my worldview just made me realize that I have no doubts in what I believe to be true, and I believe that my worldview becomes the driving force behind every emotion, decision, and action. Therefore, it affects my response to every area of…

    I have a Christian worldview. A worldview is the structure by which an individual or group makes sense of the world. Philip Graham Ryken describes it as “our orientation to reality.” It seeks answers to questions like, “How did we get here?” and “In what is our ultimate hope?” Ryken believes all worldviews are inherently religious because they reveal our “fundamental convictions,” particularly what we believe about God. Further, he believes we all develop a worldview, whether consciously or subconsciously, with regard to the fundamental question of origin, problem, and hope. There are many factors which contribute to one’s worldview, including one’s background, experiences, education, socio-economic circumstances and nationality. Of course,…

    Prior to taking a course that explores the Christian worldview I would have stated that I had a Christian worldview and would have been confident in this declaration. However, I find myself anticipating the completion of this course and I am a bit confused about the true nature of my worldview. There are many things that are exactly the same, slightly similar, and drastically different from a traditional Christian worldview. According to Cosgrove in order to determine an individual’s worldview you must pay attention to their beliefs about reality (Is there a God?), knowledge (Where do we learn about what we believe?), human nature (What makes up a human being?), human problems (What cause human problems?),…

    Seeing this world as the scene of a new creation, Paul said, is possible only after one has experienced the new creation in one's self (2 Corinthians 5:14-21) . Only after the gospel's complete degree has seized us, only after we understand that in Christ the Name of God is being declared in all the earth, can we understand and develop a Christian worldview. A Christian worldview leads to a new way of seeing and doing and it derives from a new way of…

As Christians we believe that God created us because he wants to have relationship with us and he wants to know each of us on a personal level.

    Not having a purpose in life or not knowing what to do or where to go might just be the worst feeling to have. I believe everyone has a purpose, something we were meant to do or be good at. Finding that one thing is just the hard part. The book Wine to Water shows us a story about a guy that really doesn’t get why he’s here. What his purpose really is until he finds out the worlds crisis for water and how he can actually help these people. Being in college, Just graduating from High school I think I can really identify with how he was feeling. Where will I really be in 10 years. Thats the million dollar question everyone would like to have answered.…

    Any Christian, who knows God, knows that He is the measure of all things. In addition, we should be God-centered He is the reason why we are here today and the reason why we believe in His laws. Everyone seems to have his or her own worldview about the universe. A Christian worldview is all I know and I am happy for that experience. As for the other worldviews, I cannot put myself in the position to judge them (Jakes, 2008).…

It is how a person interprets, through his or her own eyes, a personal belief about the world. SOURCE? A person’s worldview tries to give reasons for how the facts of reality relate and tie together.

    First, Volf states that one cannot truly love God without loving our neighbor. Furthermore, he elevates the love for neighbor with that to the love for God (102). If one is to love neighbor on the equal plains of loving God, this would constitute idolatry. We do not love God because we love our neighbor, we love God because God first loved us. Since God first loved us, we love God and because we love God we love our neighbor. John describes love in the most coherent manner “In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins” (1 Jn. 4:10). Therefore, it should logically follow that those who are loved by God through God’s Son are capable of truly loving thy neighbor. It is hardly loving thy neighbor to allow them to continue their lives in unbelief and not speaking the truth and bringing them to the faith in…
