Benchmark - Gospel Essentials Christianity is the most common religion found in the Theistic worldview. Theism is a worldview that believes in a single, relational God as the primary cause of all life. A worldview is defined as a set of fundamental beliefs to which one participates and which acts as a backdrop for comprehending and interpreting reality while also substantially influencing one's behavior (Waddell 2015). We have a created worldview without even realizing it, based on truths we think to be true based on experiences in our lives including our society, jobs, and relationships. Religious ideals form the foundation of some people's whole worldviews. The Christian philosophy raises many concerns about God, restoration, Jesus, and humanity, and what it signifies to those who embrace it. Gospel Essential Beliefs Nature of God Everyone has a different perspective on who God is and how He interacts with them. Some people believe that the cause for our creation is due to a higher authority or science, rather than God. God is known as the sovereign creator in the Christian worldview; He has power and influence over everything (Topic 5, 2021). God is described as having traits such as goodness, fidelity, love, righteousness, and holiness. God is both untouchable and everlasting, as well as compassionate and understanding. According to the Young Earth perspective, the earth's existence, the formation of the world, and many types of life, among many other things, are all examples of special creation, which took place over six 24-hour days, as stated in Genesis 1. God had complete creative control over all living things and the cosmos, including the creation of day and night. On the sixth day, God created man and woman to provide for all of the animals and earth He had created. God intended for the couple to reproduce, be fruitful, and multiply; to fill 2

the world and subdue it. The sea's fish and the sky's birds, as well as any living thing that moves on the surface, are under your control (Genesis 1:28 NIV). Nature of Humanity In Genesis 2, God created the lovely Garden of Eden. The upkeep was then handed to Adam, who was told to select a suitable companion. When God couldn't find Adam a suitable spouse, he created Eve, Adam's wife. God created man to be a mirror image of Himself. He intended for man to be born with the ability to obey and love Him. Adam and Eve were forbidden to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil by God. The serpent misled Eve by making the forbidden tree's fruit sound and seem so appealing. Human nature is what we call it. Even when we're told something is harmful for us, a part of us still wants to do the "evil thing," and we're enticed to do it anyhow. The way we interpret, behave, and experience things reflects our human nature. Many people believe that this is the point at when the universe began to shift and darkness invaded our lives. The difficulties we confront are a result of our actions. As previously said, some believe this occurred after the fall. Observing the actions of others causes them to lose faith in humanity. We get a bitter taste in our mouths when bad things happen in the world, and it makes us lose hope. Human intention, according to the Christian worldview, comprises dedicating one's life to serving God and attempting to live a life worthy of His favor. Nature of Jesus God's Son, Jesus, was sent down from Heaven to save those who were lost in their sins. People were supposed to hunger for Jesus after the fall in Genesis 2, repent of their sins and be saved, and then change their lifestyle around to be worthy of eternal life. The subject of believers' devotion to God, according to the Cambridge Dictionary of Christian Theology, is 3
