In today’s world of anything goes relativity, it is important that a “Champion for Christ” know what their worldview is. In this paper, I will describe, using scholarly and semi-scholarly sources my defined worldview. It is important that as an Orthodox believer in biblical truths and a believer in Christ, by definition and implicit in “my” worldview should be that of what I am, a Christian worldview.
Worldview is defined very simply by an online dictionary as “The way someone thinks about the world” (Merriam-Webster's online dictionary, n.d.). However, to a believer in Christ, this is too simplistic and too open to interpretation. As a Christian, I would define it more definitively as “The way someone thinks about the world in light of biblical truths. As God enlightens us through science and reason, we know more of what we believe the world to be, why we believe what we do about our world, and what expectations we should have in the future concerning growing knowledge of the world.” After all, it is my belief that science is merely discovering God’s creative mysteries and encompasses all scholarly subjects from biology and chemistry, to astronomy and philosophy.
Origin: While much debate surrounds the origin of life, as a Christian, we must believe that God created humans separately.

That is the sin of rebellion. One does not go to hell for being a thief or a liar or even gay. No, one goes to hell when they reject Christ and His regenerative work through the Holy Spirit. The rebellion is to reject Christ and at least strive for godliness (no matter how many times you fail) for fleshly pleasure and pretending (which I believe it is as most know they are wrong) to just be happy with it no matter the consequences is that rejection. This is also why I differ with Baptist’s “once saved always saved” belief. I also reject hyper-Calvinism as
As we look back on history we can see that human beings have made great strides as well as suffered many setbacks in our development of fundamental doctrines and/or beliefs by which we live and view the world. These foundational beliefs have provided the framework for which all civilizations preserve, cooperate, and govern their way of life. Certainly throughout history, the spread of Christian theology and doctrine has been influential in establishing and developing a deeply rooted theistic and biblical worldview foundation; thus being the center of much debate. In light of the various views within Christian theology, we will focus specifically on doctrine that is foundational to the Christian
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.
What is a world view? A worldview is an individual’s view on life. It is the philosophy with which we live. It makes us who we are and is shaped by our experiences, culture, and background (Smith, 2015). A worldview is fluid, it changes as we change and discover our identities. It is made up of the questions that humans may ask to determine their wealth to the world or their purpose in life. Our worldview can make us gravitate toward other individuals with similar beliefs. It is a unifying factor in our day to day interactions with people and the world as a whole. It is the way that we determine what is “considered meaningful, what is worth doing, and which causes may require sacrifice”

A worldview is one’s presuppositions and values that a person tries to use to understand the world around them. A presupposition affects how we believe and reflect on how we view Politics, Science, and our ethics. A Christian world view helps us to interpret God, Jesus, ideas, beliefs, convictions, and our habits of the world. The cool thing is that everyone has a worldview whether they think it or not there isn’t such a think as “worldview neutral” because believing in not worldview is a worldview. God says in Matthew 12:30 “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters” and in Luke 9:50 “Do not stop him, for whoever is not against you is for you” so being for God is follow his holy world the bible. So, when we read the bible it says, “That everything you do in the name of Lord Jesus, Giving thanks to God The Father through him”.

I have many worldviews. Some that I like, and some that I don't. I like most of them but I know that I also need to work on others. The attitude I need to work on is showing more love. I try to be a very nice person and most of the time, it works. But other times I can be really rude. I already am very compassionate I just need to put myself into other's places more. Understanding comes very easy to me and also gratitude. I would really like to work on these because it is important that I reflect God and what is important to him. Like; treating others with respect, loving everyone, patience, kindness, compassion, gratitude, and just overall being a child of God.
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

A worldview is the frame of what someone believe and bases their opinions (Hindson & Caner, 2008). The word worldview comes from the German word Weltanschauung, used by the philosopher Kant in 1790. Kant said that Weltanschauung is each person’s understand the meaning of the world and their place in it (Bartholomew & Goheen, November 2008). When a person talks about a biblical worldview, they are using the Bible to support what they believe. Everyone has a worldview, even if they don’t realize it, and their worldview is impacted by many different sources. World Count: 84
While it is important that we know God and work to follow in his past, we also must know that none of us will live without sin. In Roman 3:10 (English Standard Version), Paul writes “None is righteous, no, not one.” God identifies each and every one of us separately. We are accountable for our decisions and actions individually. For example, we may all attend church together on Sundays. But some may choose to partake in non-Christian activities while they are not at church while others try to do their duty to help spread God’s word. Even though we are all in church as a group each week , when it comes time to judge God is going to look at us individually. He has provided us with guidance on how he expects us to live and act. It is each human’s job to work towards the promised reward of eternal
