Biblical Worldview: Romans 1-8 Romans 1-8 gives us a foundation for a Biblical Worldview. It gives us a foundation for the natural world, human identity, human relationships, and culture. Paul addresses these subjects while speaking on the wrath of God by warning us of what will happen if we turn away from the Lord.

In Genesis 1:1 it talks about God creating the earth. There is not only evidence all around us of the beautiful things that God has created, but there is scriptural evidence as well. Romans relates to the natural world with a biblical worldview, as well. Romans 1:20 states, “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse” God has made himself known by the splendor of creation.

We are still called to love and treat people justly and with respect. So a Biblical Worldview on culture is valuing and viewing others how God does because He created all mankind. Elder
