Gospel Essentials
A Christian worldview refers to the concepts and principles that a Christian individual,
society, or culture employs to comprehend and relate to the cosmos. The foundation of the idea is
what the purest forms of God, humanity, Jesus, and restoration are like. The purpose of the
gospel tenets is to lead people to accept Jesus as their personal Savior. Understanding the core
principles of religion is also crucial. It is essential to have a Christian faith given all the causes to
be devoted and appreciative. Because we gain so much knowledge about Christianity, we are
able to live more inspiring lives
Nature of God
It is crucial to understand that Christians embrace a monotheistic worldview, which
means they believe there is only one God, who is actually a Triune being. One God—the Father,
the Son, and the Holy Spirit—exists in three persons according to the doctrine of the Trinity
(Beginning of Wisdom). This is significant because the Christian worldview requires a trinitarian
understanding of God. Creation is purely a divine activity according to the Bible. The Father,
Son, and Spirit have been in perfect relationship and communion for all of time. He is to be
feared, acknowledged, and worshiped. Our God is unalterable, everlasting, omnipotent,
omniscience, and all-present, among other virtues. God is impartial, just, loving, faithful, and
divine. Some of these characteristics are revealed in what God has made, especially in his
omniscience, benevolence, and eternality. God created everything in this world. It took 7 days of
creation to complete his vision. The first day the Lord created light and on the second day he
created the sky. For the third day, He made dry land, seas, plants and trees. On the fourth day
(Beauty of God’s Creation) God made the Sun, Moon, and stars. Animals of the sky and sea were
created on the fifth day. Land animals and man were added to God’s creation on the sixth day

and in Genesis 1:31 it says “And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very
good… “The final day was used to rest, making it a special holy day.
Nature of Humanity
The unique bond between God and people is demonstrated by the fact that humans were
created in his likeness, because of that we are the highest form of His creation. Despite the fact
that God created everything, only humans were made in the image of God and were given the
gift of life. The foundation of worship is the bond between God and humanity that He forged at
creation. God's interaction with Adam and Eve can be observed in the way He converses with
them, walks beside them, and commissions and commands them. All of these are ways that God
is revealing himself to people. Adam and God's interaction in the garden offers humanity a way
to get to know the intelligent Creator of everything (Beginning of Wisdom). People were made to
know and worship God, to love him and to follow his rules. Our purpose is to live in community
with one another and with God. Since God is relational, we were made to be relational beings
who depend on both God and one another. All he desires is for us to have a relationship with him
and to worship him. He wants us to obey his commands and take stewardship over his creations.
The root cause of humanities problems is sin. We were created as pure and good beings until sin
came into the world and it affected our nature. But the Lord is all forgiving and loves and
forgives us no matter what.
Nature of Jesus
Jesus is the epitome of kindness, mercy, and devotion to both God and his followers.
These characteristics highlight Jesus' exclusive status as the Son of God.
