Christian Worldview
Christian Worldview The biblical or Christian Worldview, a theistic world view, “is based on the infallible Word of God” (Tackett, 2011, para. 2). Answering the questions of origin, Identity, Meaning/purpose, morality and destiny will further help in knowing what a Christian Worldview looks like. The Christian Worldview answers these questions with faithful certainty. The foundation of the biblical worldview is of course that the scripture is entirely true allowing for the words to shape what one does or says.
1. The Question of Origin-
This question asks “How did life begin?” and “how did creation come into existence?” God created all things (Gen.1) through Christ the visible image of God (Col. 1:15-17). Life began through the creativeness of God, speaking even light into existence.
2. The Question of Identity-
This question seeks to answer “What’s does it mean to be human” and “are humans more important than animals?” Mankind was created in the image of God (Gen.1:26-27).Mankind now bears His likeness separating mankind from animal; giving authority to man (Gen. 1:28). Humanity was given stewardship over the Earth and the animals of which he is now responsible for.
3. The Question Meaning/Purpose-
This question asks plainly “What is the meaning of life?” or more specifically “What’s my purpose?” The Theistic belief, as stated by Weider and Gutierrez, is that the purpose of man is to know God. The Christian can know God through a relationship that was bridged by the Messiah (John 1:18). By this salvation a purpose is given to share the Gospel (Mark 16:15).
4. The Question of Morality-
“What is right or wrong?” and “how should one live their life?” these questions seek to answer the question of morality. The natural morality of man is tainted. This is the sinful nature of man (Rom. 7:18) but Christians are given a new nature (Eph. 4:24) through Jesus Christ and brought to life(Col. 2:13)
5. The Question of Destiny-
This question seeks to answer,
