What Is a Worldview
Part I
What is a Worldview? I would look at it as a view of the world, but the real meaning of worldview is it being a word that ecompasses a great deal of meaning, emotions, and potential consequences. In review a worldview is a person's philosiphy in life, a framework a person brings to decision-making, and a filter or lens which a person uses to interpret life and the world around them.
Part II
The question of Origin: How did life begin and how did mankind come into existece. The bible says "In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth" Genesis 1:1. Also Moses, the writer of Geesis under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit; 2 Peter 1:21, identifies God as the first cause. The Psalmist, David declares that God is his creater (Psalm 139:13-16)
The question of Identity: What does it mean to be a human? Are humans more important than animals? Psalms 8:5 and Genesis 2:15; Male and female were both created "in the image of God" and were given the responsibility to rule over the animals and to be their caretakers. Although the earth and animals are not to be worshipped, mankind is responsible to take care of God's creation.
The question of Meaning/Purpose: Why does mankind exist? Deuteronomy 11:13; Leviticus 19:18. Why do I exist? Man is to love the Lord and serve Him with "all your heart and with all your soul" and to "love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord".
The question of Morality: What is meant by right and wrong? How should I live? Genesis 3; Exodus 20:6 As a result, mankind is in need of redemption. How this happens then differs between Judaism and Christianity. In Judaism, man is in a right relationship with God through good works.
The question of Destiny: Is there life after death? What will happen to me when I die? Revelation 21:1-7; Revelation 20:11-15. Heaven and Hell are both literal places where people exist eternally either in the presence and blessings of God in Heaven or in a state of separation from God,
