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…
A worldview is a set of beliefs about how you view the fundamental aspects of the world. Your worldview can greatly influence everything you do, think, or know. You can say you do or don’t have a worldview but if you deny having one, then you may possibly either be naïve or misled. If your worldview is incorrect, then you may be living your life with a behavior that is wrong. I definitely think that is how I have been living my life. I had never thought about having a worldview but I can see now how it can dictate everything in life that you do.…
In the most recent news around the world news that El Chapo the famous drug Kingpin was incarcerated into mexico's most fortified maximum security prison, but that could keep him locked up. He had his mind set on bigger and better things. He owned just about everyone. If not, he’d pay you off and if you didn't accept it, he would have you killed. He is a man of many people he has a lot of power and control. He's sought to be the most wanted drug trafficker in the world.…
What will happen to me when I die? Eternal life is for all of God’s people but only those who repent and have been saved through Jesus Christ may enter in to heaven. By turning away from sin (repentance) and accepting Christ in your heart (salvation), you are saved (grace) and you can live an eternal life in heaven. (John 3:16) (Luke 18:18-30) The alternative is hell, “the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.”…
God is the creator of human beings and the ruler of our universe. God has many characteristics including being: independent, infinite, eternal, incomprehensible, supreme, sovereign, faithful, majestic, and promising.…
God is the creator and master of this entire universe. Because of God we all have life, and all things are possible. I believe that God do exist and he is real. I believe in Jesus Christ his son, as well as the Holy Spirit.”God is a merciful God, and he will not leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 4:31)”. “God is my strength and makes my way perfect (2 Samuel 22:23)”.…
The majority of religions have a clear belief in the concept of life and existence after death; however, the detail of what happens and how it happens differs between every religion and it predominantly depends on the beliefs about the soul.…
God is the creator and ruler of the universe and it is believed that he is the reason for all fortunes. God is the comforting soul people often pray upon when in need of something,…
When I die I think that I am going straight to heaven. I say this because of the death of Jesus. When he did Jesus went to hell and freed the ones that had died before and had trusted in him. Thus proving the point that we no longer had to stay in hell until the perfect sacrifice was made. Also when I die I believe that my earthly body will decompose but my spirit shall ask just as the spirits of those who died and believed with the only difference being that it will happen as soon as I die.…
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,…
Heaven exists for the souls that believe that Jesus Christ is their Savior and Hell exists for the souls that have rejected Jesus Christ as their Savior. Anyone can receive the free gift of eternal life that was bought by the death of Jesus Christ (Romans 6:23). To receive the gift one has to believe and know that God sent His son, Jesus Christ, to this earth to save humanity from their sins through His perfect life, death and resurrection (John 3:16). When one understands what has been done, their life will be forever changed and will be evident through the act of sanctification. Sanctification is the product of a changed heart that their soul will spend eternity with their heavenly. Ultimately, the souls of humanity will end up either in Heaven with God or in Hell separated from God for…
My own worldview is heavily influenced by the teachings of the Bible. Whenever I come across new information, I must first reflect upon if it is logical and consistent. Every view must come under heavy scrutiny for errors in logic and sorted out. If an argument is logical, then I compare it with the Scriptures. This is because I have found the Bible to be the ultimate source of Truth and I believe that it is the inspired Word of God. Every life is important…
Our worldview impacts all aspects of our lives because it is the foundation of how we think, make decisions, act, and perceive the world. Ultimately our critical thinking processes are colored by our beliefs and not necessarily grounded in reality.…
The first website I visited was LifeTeen, which revolves around the youth of the Catholic faith and serves as an online community for teenagers to come in touch with their religious beliefs. As I explored the website, I came across several insightful articles concerning topics relevant to teenagers in today’s society. One article in particular that I found interesting was “How to Be Happy” by Christina Mead. The desire to find happiness and the skewed perceptions of what will bring forth contentment are discussed in the article. However, it is emphasized that the key to happiness is through God and living a faithful life. I would highly recommend this website to young adolescents, especially those who are beginning to question their beliefs and morals. Many of the articles on this website accurately capture the feelings of teenagers in regards to the daily struggles that are faced to resist succumbing to peer pressure and conforming to immoral societal standards.…
No matter what religion someone believes in, if they believe in any religion at all, most people can agree on the fact that we are not going to live forever here on earth, we are going to die. No one knows when they are going to or how it will happen, but dying is a part of life, the end of a life. However, even though most of us can agree that we will all die, we do not all agree on what happens after the fact. Shintoism and Taoism (Daoism) have two interesting ways of looking at death and the afterlife.…
