Part 1: Christian World View According to Del Tackett’s article on the Focus on the Family website, a person with a Biblical world view “believes his primary reason for existence is to love and serve God” (Tackett, 2012). Barna Research Group asks the following questions to determine if a person has a Biblical worldview: “Do absolute moral truths exist? Is absolute truth defined by the Bible? Did Jesus Christ live a sinless life? Is God the all-powerful and all-knowing Creator of the universe, and does He still rule it today? Is salvation a gift from God that cannot be earned? Is Satan real? Does a Christian have a responsibility to share his or her faith in Christ with other people? Is the Bible accurate in all of its teachings?” (Tackett, 2012). My personal answers are that yes absolute moral truth does exist and is defined by the Bible. An example would be pre-marital or extra-marital sex which the Bible tells us goes against God. This is an absolute moral truth and is defined by the Bible. Jesus did live a sinless life and yes God is the all-knowing and powerful creator of the universe and yes He still rules it today. John 14:6 tells us, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Those words confirm that yes salvation is a gift through God that cannot be earned. Satan is real from before the fall of man in the Garden of Eden and will continue to be at the time of Revelations when he is finally chained and thrown into the pits of hell. Matthew 28:19-20 instructs us to: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” This confirms that yes we have a responsibility to share our faith in Christ with other people. 2
