A worldview can be described as a particular conception of the universe and its’ origin based on a person’s values that come from influences such as religious, societal, and perceptional factors. It can help ground a person and it serves as an explanation of reality and the nature of one’s existence. A person of Christian faith bases their worldview around the teachings of God and the Holy Bible. By studying the Christian worldview, one can learn about the way they perceive the world through God, humanity, Jesus, and restoration. Christians believe that God is an all powerful supernatural and sentient being that is all loving, forgiving, and the origin of life. It is almost impossible to describe all of God’s attributes because he is an infinitely
There are a variety of differing worldviews in practice today. Every person has a worldview that is shaped by their experiences, pasts, families, traditions, values, and beliefs that form the core of who they are. The Christian worldview is no exception. This worldview is formed by the beliefs and teachings of the Bible. The worldview is shaped and centered around the view of who God is, the purpose of humanity, the true identity of Jesus, the restoration of humans to God, acknowledging the strengths and weakness of the worldview, and the practicality of living out the worldview.
The Old Testament of the Holy Bible gives many examples which provide modern man with guidelines for the use of scientific method. Millam (2008) explains that there is an underlying order in nature demonstrated by the patterns and regularities of God’s creations. These regularities can be seen in the forces of nature and are stable throughout space and time (Millam, 2008). The original classification of species, use of precise measurement, and even the first account of scientific research, are all included in the Old Testament of the Holy Scriptures. God gives scientists some clear frames of reference for seeking knowledge and truth in science.
Worldview is the framework of beliefs by which a person views the around him. It translates from the German word weltanschauung which means “world perception.”(Hindson et al, 2008).

Christianity and Sikhism are the religions discussed by the writer in this paper are not extremely distinguished from each other. Every religion has its own principles and regulations and rules so one must think what will fit in with that religion.

There are many different religions and beliefs throughout the world, ranging from Islam, Secular Humanism, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc. The worldview of many of these religions differs greatly when compared to Christianity. For example, the questions of origin, Identity, Meaning/purpose, Morality, Destiny may get you different answer from each belief. I have chosen to discuss Buddhism in comparison to a Christian’s worldview on the questions of origin, Identity, Meaning/purpose, Morality and destiny. “Buddhism is a religion, originated in India by Buddha and later spreading to China, Burma, Japan, Tibet and parts of southeast Asia, holding that life is full of suffering caused by desire and that the way to end this suffering is through enlightenment
The essence of a Christian worldview is to believe in the one and only true living God. As a Christian we understand that God loves and compassionate to his children is unfailing. His love for us will never run out. He loves us even when we are doing wrong. Christians believe in the death, burial and resurrection of his son Jesus Christ who was atonement for our sins. We understand that he is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. He is Lord of Lord and Kings of Kings. Christ is at the right hand of God interceding for us in heaven. Having a Christian worldview to some people that does not know God may seems foolish. In Roman 10:9 says, “That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised

Any worldview is shaped by the influence of ideas in a person’s life. A person’s worldview will be shaped by the books they read, the ideas and beliefs of their close family and friends, and the things which they experience.

Worldview would have in times previously provoked a blank stare; many Christians today have at most some understanding with the concept. Subconscious or Conscious, every individual has some sort of worldview. It influences our responses to every area of life: everything in one’s life is touched and effected by ones worldview . Biblical worldview is frequently flung around today in a hit-or-miss manner, and it may no longer be clear what it truly means. Also, Biblical worldview may be in jeopardy of fading to the “tried that, been there, and we’ve moved on” attitude that is rampant in so many present-day program-driven churches. How does one define worldview? What is Biblical worldview?
A biblical worldview has many characteristics. It mainly differs from the other worldviews in its view of a creator and what happens to us when we die. According to Romans 1:20 since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made even His eternal power and Godhead. This worldview centers on a loving protecting creator who is here to guide us in our daily lives. God showed himself to us through his own written word. Prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. (2 Peter 1:21) this scripture shows us that the bible writers wrote not their own words but those of God.
: At the beginning of Core 150, we were introduced to the concept of a worldview. It was defined as “a set of presuppositions (or assumptions) that we hold about the basic makeup of the world.” It is essential to the makeup of a person’s identity and how the world is perceived through the eyes of that individual and plays a part in connecting communities with each other based on similar views. Worldviews can always be subjected to change, but as it stands today, my worldview is based on a Christian point of view.
Understanding the Christian worldview is a long journey that many will not fully comprehend. Having a Christian worldview means that an individual has “a foundational set of assumptions to which one commits that serves as a framework for understanding and interpreting reality and deeply shapes one’s behavior” based off the Bible (DiVincenzo, 2015). With different debates over the Christian worldview, everyone can look to one source. The Bible is where Christian’s get their faith from and learning God’s word is essential to their lifestyle. There are still various questions regarding Christian beliefs, but the explanation of Gospel essentials will create a general understanding. Each of these topics are connected and all serve a purpose

A worldview is the way a person views and interprets the world around them. Life experiences and spiritual influences play a part in forming one’s worldview. A person’s worldview helps them to determine beliefs on creation, humanity, morals and what happens after death. According to Waddell, (2014) “Worldviews are also like lenses found in eyeglasses that serve as the means through which a person sees the world.” (para. 43) In this paper, the main components of the Christian worldview will be discussed, to include God, humanity, Jesus, restoration and analysis of Christian Faith as well as a reflection of my own beliefs.
One’s worldview, as the term implies, represents the, way one views the world and all that exists therein. In the case of the Christian, his/her worldview is shaped by the divinely inspired, infallible, and inerrant Word of God which serves as the lens or prism through which the Christian views the world and everything therein: and it is through this lens that those profound questions regarding human origins, identity, meaning/purpose, morality, and destiny are seen with a deeply satisfying clarity.
