book of Genesis reveals God’s perfect process of creating the universe and more specifically, The Earth. God created everything, period.
Write 2-3 sentences explaining what the fall reveals about humanity and human morality.
The fall of man, initiated by Adam’s inability to resist Eve’s temptation to disobey God in the Garden, is paramount. Sin had not entered this world until that moment. It explains why we are all sinful by nature. We must follow Jesus’ teachings and develop discipline and self-control in order to counteract this original sin.
Write 2-3 sentences explaining the importance of God revealing Himself through covenants.
The Covenants, New, and Old alike are God’s way of interacting and instructing His people in an Earthly and understandable way. They are contractual agreements.

salvation.

He brought forth the idea of salvation. He is the way, the truth, and the light! Through Him, we can all have access to eternal life.

We all sin. We stumble through our lives making mistakes. It gives me a calm serenity to know that through the blood of the Lamb, we have been forgiven and redeemed. Our souls need constant restoration from the sinful decisions we make. Without these in our lives, this world would just pointless pain and suffering.
Please review all your responses above and write a three-paragraph summation of the Christian worldview. In your brief summation, explain why it is important to know the story of the Bible and the common thread throughout the flags in the "Story of the Bible." Finally, how does your interpretation of life compare with the Christian Worldview reflected in the biblical story?
I feel like it was important for me to know the story of the bible to help shape my worldview. It is a Story that tells the truth about our world. It is so important to understand that it is the Bible story that leads from creation, to our fall into sin, to redemption through Jesus Christ, and final restoration in the fullness of time.
In the bible story, God created everything for the people and to worship Him and commune with Him. Jesus, the Messiah will be born. All through the Bible, it speaks of His birth and death. It tells that of the love God has and the punishment He will give out. However, one common theme is Jesus. If you believe, love and confess your sins- you will be saved.
My views reflect that of the bible story because I believe God created the universe. I believe we are God’s creation. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him. I believe 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.

Part 2 - Journal
Use the space below to compose a journal of 250-500 words on the results of "Find out Your Worldview." http://lc.gcumedia.com/zwebassets/courseMaterialPages/cwv101_world-view-v1.1.php
Access and view the "Find out Your Worldview.” After completing the process, reflect on your result. Do you agree with the result you received? Explain why you agree or disagree with the result. What does assessing your own worldview in this way teach you about yourself?
The results of the “Find out Your Worldview” were that I have a Christian worldview. I do agree with the results that I received. I have thought of my view as Christian since I was a teenager. With this test, it just confirms that I am. I just naturally answered the questions. I answered with what I felt in my heart. I whole-heartedly believe that I have a Christian worldview because it is based on the Word of God. When you believe the Bible is entirely true, then you allow it to be the foundation of everything you say and do. I apply and trust in God’s truths in every area of my life. I believe we are God’s creation. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him.
Male and female he created them (Genesis 1:27-28; 2:15).
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
life.
