A worldview and religion of any kind have to firmly be form to truly understand Who God is. Depending on what you believe or how you see the world around you will give you better understanding of whether God exist or not. Before we can describe God in any way, we have to have faith and understand that he exist, otherwise it wouldn’t make sense to describe and understand something that those not exist to you. As, described in the previous chapters that a worldview can shape the way a person behavior. The worldview can change someone understanding of what the world around them is. My worldview and the way I live my life is based on the fact that God exists and he is inside me, because the Bible say that your body is the temple of God and what I do with myself matters in the eyes of God. We as humans were created in the image of God, and there forth, we should be able to understand God. To truly understand the Christian worldwide you will first need to under the trinity, humanity, and the four biblically acts (Cosgrove, (2006).
Many people, including myself ask themselves everyday, who God is. You can never completely describe him is indescribable. God is a loving and forgiving God, he is beautiful and everything about him is. God exist because the Bible says so, we can see his existence through his creation. God is the one who created everything and he control every bite of it. God is a spirit; he cannot be seen by the naked eyes. He’s sovereign, Malakai 3: 6 says that,
God is our creator, He loves and protect us, He wants us to be safe and happy.
To understand God you must first get a decent understanding of the bible. The bible has been translated from the
Who is God? What are his characteristics? I believe that God is the person who created me and he is the person I believe in. I also think that God is the creator of the world and that has control over everything that happens in my life. I think that some of God’s characteristics are that he has the
The first foundational aspect of the worldview is who God is. The Christian’s worldview of who God is that God is part of the Trinity. The Trinity is made up of three persons: The Father, the Son (who is fully God and man), and the Holy Spirit, but they are all one God (Diffey, 2014). Existence is possible because of God. God, “created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1, English Standard Version). God created the world and is still actively involved in it because, “If God’s creative activity is needed to account for the first existence of the world, there is every reason to think that it would be needed to account for the world’s persistence” (McCann, 2012, p. 24). God did not create the world and leave it because, “God’s act of creation is an act of the purest sort” (Dodds & Dodds, 2011, p. 210). God’s love goes hand in hand with God’s wisdom. Wisdom is a
My personal Christian worldview is full of heavy doses of God, and plenty of drizzles of the Bible, and it was born from a combination of how I was raised, my life experiences, and my assumptions. This worldview is heavily involved as I bring up my children to love God, and do my best to be a good wife to my husband. Most of all, this combination has filled my heart and soul with the conclusion that God is my all!
A Christian worldview is based on ideas and beliefs in which a group or culture interprets the world and interacts with it. Most Christians believe in God and Jesus and try to live according to the teachings of the Bible, however as we have seen throughout the themes in this course that all Christians do not all practice them in the same way. This paper will cover the themes of (The Holy Trinity, Jesus Speaking into Chaos and The Widow, the Orphan, and the Alien: Caring for the Oppressed).
One may be very self aware of their personal worldview, or one’s worldview may be settled deep within the subconscious part of their brain. Everyone in existence has a worldview, but not everyone has a biblical Christian worldview. In his article Developing a Biblical Worldview, Ethan Pope (2002) says “a biblical worldview begins with God in Genesis chapter one, and verse one”. Pope goes on to say that a biblical worldview includes not only one’s view on the world, but other aspects in the world such as the people in it, its issues, the problems and solutions of it, and its government. Looking at Genesis 1:1, it says “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth”. This single verse can change a secular worldview into a biblical Christian worldview because this verse is proof that the entire earth is by the design of a Creator, thus eliminating the possibility of any form of evolution. In his article, Pope further continues his defense of the importance of a worldview by arguing that there are two worldviews that exist. There is the biblical worldview based on the framework of God and who he is, and there is the atheistic or secular worldview whose framework is built on nature and man. The secular worldview dismisses God and the need for him, and even at times ignores his existence altogether. Romans 12:2 says “Do not conform to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your
It is difficult for humans to ever fully understand God as his greatness is beyond comprehension. However, we do know about many different parts of God. The Old Testament fathers,
God is the creator of all things. He was the beginning of life “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the spirit of God was hovering over the waters” (Genesis 1:1-2). God’s characteristics can still be seen in humans today for humans were created in God’s image “Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule
Worldview is what you see and think about the world. So it would depend on the person on what they think about the world since everyone is different. It is what you believe of what you have heard and would take it to heart of what you believe. For example in the book called Finding Your Worldview: Thinking Christianly about the World, it gives an example of different color lens. When you give others a different color lens each of them is going to be seeing it differently and that is how Worldview works and it would impact your life when you would respond to issues in the world. A worldview would feed off a person that would base every action, opinion and a response that they would see in the world. So since the world is built around their life, they would share what they have seen and experienced.
God is the almighty, the all-powerful, and the creator. The concept of God has intrigued humans since the dawn of time. As a result, the ability to understand Him is necessary. The question, “What is God?,” has baffled intellectuals throughout history. According to the Oxford Dictionary, God is “the creator and ruler of the universe and source of moral authority.” However, this definition loosely describes the fundamentals of God himself. In order to accurately define Him, one must go beyond sources like the Bible because it contains refutable miracles to outline the acts of God. To truly define God, one must identify the traits that make God unparalleled. God must be an omniscient and omnipotent, an omnibenevolent, and an omnitemporal being.
This is the first question we should ask ourselves, because everyone has a different understanding of who God is in their life. If you are
But many need to understand that the Bible appeals to our senses to determine if God exist. For example Jesus encouraged Philip to see God, according to the Bible in John 14:6-9 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth and the life, no one comes to the father but through Me. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him and have seen Him”. Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us (KJV)”.
God is portrait as someone or something who is most great, knows everything. He is the creator and moral authority most of us live by. But like Amselm said God is one substance, an infinite being, the most perfect being in which nothing greater can be conceived. If anyone is greater than
Everyone’s definition of their worldview is different. An area that is a part of someone’s worldview is their view of God. But first, does a God exist? Yes, there is a God that exists. God is not in a body like humans are, but He was able to come to Earth as a human being. I would have to describe Him as a being that is much different than anything we experience in the physical world. God is omnipresent; He is omniscient and omnipotent. God’s nature is loving, caring, and forgiving. Because I believe there is more than the material cosmos, it is absolutely possible that God exists which, is what I believe to be true. People can, however, worship other made up gods such as a sun god, golden calf, television, sports, a Hollywood star, or money. Although people have other gods, God is the only true God. There is no one or nothing like Him.
