An Application Of A Biblical Worldview

The issue of evil in the world raises questions with which everyone wrestles. Pain and suffering come into everyone’s life to some degree or another. Trying to find meaning and purpose in the midst of suffering, whether our own or someone else’s, is difficult regardless of what worldview one holds. How individuals and societies deal with this issue will have important implications for those individuals as well as to the whole of society.

The IMF oversees the exchange rate of currencies and encourages the free convertibility of any currency into another nation’s form of currency. A Biblical Worldview component should be added to the IMF for the purpose of instilling absolute truths to prevent cultural subjectivity and corruption. Having Biblical worldview added as a component provides an authority for absolute truth to be derived from. Absolute truth would be determined through the authority of God and His word. Having God as a standard for morality would help to prevent corruption arising from subjectivity determined by power-alliances and bribery.

Introduction: The term "image of God" occurs three times in the Bible. In Genesis 1:26-27 and 9:6, we find out that man is created in the image of God. In 2 Cor. 4:4 we see the phrase used in reference to Jesus who is the "image of God." There is no exact understanding of what the phrase means, but we can generalize. It would seem that the first two verses refer to God's character and attributes that are reflected in people. The term cannot be a reference to a physical appearance of God since Jesus says in John 4:24 that God is Spirit, and in Luke 24:39 Spirit does not have flesh and bones. Therefore, we can conclude that the image of God deals with humanity's reflection of

Our relationships with other people give a strong sense of what our relationship with God is like. How we interact with people on a daily basis and the relationships that we build goes a long way in showing just how we feel about them. In Romans 1:10 we see that Paul wanted desperately to come to Rome to teach, to interact, to fellowship, and build relationships with the Christians that were there. Just as God wants a personal relationship with His creation we all feel a deep need for relationships with each other. It was not meant for man to go through life on his own without being able to interact with each other. We see the genuine love that Paul displayed toward the people and churches throughout his epistles and it should make us want to have an even stronger relationship with our Creator.

In conversations with people I meet, my goal is not to proselytize them or foist my views on them. Rather, I wish to treat them with the respect and courtesy due them as an individual created in the image of God. My heart is to show genuine interest in them by asking questions to learn more about who they are and where they are at, and responding respectfully to what they have to say.

A worldview is the lens through which one looks at the world. Specifically, worldview is a set of presuppositions, assumptions that can be entirely true, partially true, or not true at all, that govern the way one perceives the world and make moral judgements and decisions. Worldview can be compared to the foundation of a building on which everything else rests including ideas of morality, decision-making, and life questions concerning purpose and origin.

Romans is a book in the New Testament that’s was written by the Apostle Paul, somewhere around the winter 56 57 AD from the city of Corinth. The Christians was

Gospel Essentials Biblical Worldview is composed of a number of essential elements. Including God who created the World, the human race that He created, the Son of God, and His death on the Cross which Christians believe was the debt Christ paid for the forgiveness of mankind 's sinful nature. This poses the question: what are the basic beliefs and generalizations to a Christian worldview, and is Christianity nothing but ancient tradition and biblical dogma, or is it more than that. Is there some level of truth to life changing transformations Christians claim are the direct result of a relationship with an omnipotent being whom they refer to as God?

After watching the various videos for the Biblical world view assignment, I have found several aspects that are very interesting to me. The first video “Doing the Right Thing” by Chuck Colson grabbed my attention in several ways. First are the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr “It is our moral responsibly to resist unjust law” (Doing the Right Thing Group Bible study by Charles Colson, Brit Hume - Trailer, 2012). I have always thought that just because something was a law did not make it morally right. I firmly believe as the speakers in the Colson video pointed out that the government should operate under moral law.

A worldview is how others look at the world from your own point of view. When looking at the worldview you can also use a lens to see things. Worldview can affect the way you look at thing in your own eyes. There are several types of worldviews such as theism, naturalism, and pantheism. People that has the religion of theism believe that there is a god. People that has a naturalism religion are people that believe there is no god. People that have a religion of pantheism believe that god is everything in their life. There are many ways the worldview becomes biblical. There are seven of the biblical worldviews. The first one is the existence of god. The worldview of existence of god is affected by doctrine in sense that if god exist it is always a higher person to be accountable for. The second one is salvation by grace alone. Salvation by grace alone is through faith alone in Jesus. The worldview in salvation by grace is that all life surrendered to Christ in response to his sacrifice and grace you receive through faith. The third biblical

What is sin? The bible refers to sin as breaking the law of God.(1 John 3:4) The bible also refers to sin as rebellion against God. (Joshua 1:18) Sin began when Satan was still an angel of God and was not satisfied with his placement. He aspired to be more powerful than God, and this was Satan’s first sin. (Isaiah 14:12-15) When Satan came to earth and tempted Adam and Eve (Genesis 3), he bought sin along with him for everyone else in the world too. Since then, sin as be brought down from generations. And because everyone is descendants of Adam, we all inherit the habits of sin. (Romans 5:12) I believe that because we were all born into sin, that everyone will

How might/should a biblical worldview influence the way you think about, treat, and speak to others on a daily basis? When you look at things in a biblical worldview, you are abiding by the scriptures in the Bible. We as Christians should have a biblical worldview in life. In doing so, it will affect the way you live your life. Interacting with others is something that is done daily. Nonetheless, we should treat others how we would like to be treated Matthew 7:12). We should speak well towards others and encourage them (Ephesians 4:32). According to Gutierrez & Weider, “everyone should believe and do what is in their best interest as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else” (2014, pg. 76). As, Christians we should respect and love one another (John

As an Accountant, I will not balance the books to display more revenue that the company does not possess, nor will I spend money from company funds for my personal needs and or pleasures because these are not the attributes of the image of God. “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). I need to represent His image in all that I do. “Mankind is created in order to represent God here on earth” (Etzel & Guterrez). Falsifying records and stealing are selfish ways one is to satisfy the needs of the company for whatever reason and the other is to satisfy me. “Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in

A worldview is a set of beliefs that typically have a heavy influence on your view of current matters in the world, society, or even personal matters.
