Reflection Paper

The author also addresses four themes to help the reader gain an understanding of the Christian world view which include creation, fall, redemption and consummation. Creation addresses the understanding of who humans are and how it relates to the world that we live in. The fall deals rebellion against God in the garden. Redemption speaks about the forgiveness of our sins that came through the savior of Jesus Christ. Finally Consummation pulls all three previous topics together and is the start of the integration at its core.

This essay is to look for the answers to the following questions in the scope of Genesis chapters one through eleven. How does a biblical world view affect the way we look at the natural world compared to others who don’t? How does the biblical world view affect our human identity compared to those who do not? How does having a biblical world view affect all human relationship? How Does the biblical world view affect civilization?

A theme many people faced throughout life experiences is the theme of redemption, which means being saved from incorrect doings. Individuals can fix their sins and evil minds by looking forward to positive people and things to guide them on the right path(way) to be a better person. The theme of

     In this essay I will take an interpretive look at Genesis chapters 5-9. The main focuses will be: the relationship between God, Noah, and Noah’s generation of mankind; the barriers and boundaries for

This research paper is the culmination of a wonderful and enlightening course offered by Calvary Chapel Bible College; a verse-by-verse, in-depth study, into the Book of Genesis. The lectures were given by Pastor Clark Van Wick of Calvary Chapel Bible Fellowship, in Temecula, California. Pastor Van Wick not only has a deep knowledge of God 's revelation to His people, but he pours out the love of Jesus into his students hearts throughout each lecture. The enthusiasm and joy Pastor Van Wick has for Bible exposition is felt by his students in every verse. Thank you, Pastor Van Wick!

The Bible has numerous themes that influence our lives greatly as believers. In this paper, I will be discussing the biblical themes of Creation, God, Humanity, Sin, The Good Life and Salvation. In order to have a Christian biblical worldview we need to understand what the bible teaches us about these themes. These themes have influenced my beliefs and they affect my everyday life and worldview.

The first motif I have chosen to write about is rules for humans to follow. This motif appears so often because I feel like humans have always looked for guidance on what to do with their lives and how to live them. Many of the rules that ancient civilizations have been used as guidelines on how to

Genesis is foundational for understanding our existence as it explains the origin of the universe and reveals the basic structure of God’s relationship to His creation. God is revealed as the supreme and sovereign being who creates the universe out of His own sovereign will (Gen. 1:1 – 2:3). Creation is revealed as wholly dependent on the creative and sustaining power of God. Humans are revealed as special creatures, made in God’s image to govern the rest of creation on His behalf (Gen. 1:26 – 28).

Throughout this section we learned about Genesis 1-11 and what it teaches regarding the natural world, human identity, human relationships, and civilization. Learning about these different chapters and topics can really shape and define your Biblical worldview. Before college most of us didn’t have much of a worldview other than what our parents believe. These topics affect and shape our own personal worldview.

This unit will integrate the nature of humans throughout all of the lessons. Each lesson will integrate an aspect of humanity like guilt and vulnerability in lessons one and two. These areas are worth exploring since they have all since been tainted by the fall. We were all created in the image of God as it is stated in Genesis 1:27. However, things like guilt lead to shame, vulnerability leads to the feeling of being attacked, and we treat justice as though we know what is righteous but all of these things are tainted.

The main theme of the Bible ought to cover every Scripture, leaving nothing out. The suggested thorough theme of the Bible is God restoring His kingdom on earth. When God created the earth and humans in His likeness, He gave man dominion

Moreover, each of these covenants has “it’s own character and scope; and each prepares for and provides the found for, the next”. Alexander and Baker hold fast in agreement and proceed to say, “ Yet the faith and varied responses of the ancestors and Israelites are best grasped in relation to covenant making, covenant breaking and renewals of covenant”. The narrative of the Pentateuch has a progressive nature, as do the covenants made between people and God.

I can personally relate to the theme for “Salvation.” Although I do believe that Jesus is real, I have experienced a loss of my childlike innocence and faith in the belief that everything my elders tell me is the truth. For example, I am sure that most of us grew up with stories of Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy, among others. As a child, I believed that these people were real. However, as I grew up I began to realize that these were just stories that our parents told us to make us behave. Additionally, I can relate to the theme of life, growth, and separation. At my age, I have had numerous human experiences that have added meaning to my life and made me see myself as an adult. Plus, I have experienced the separation of myself from my parents which has helped me to form my own beliefs and become my own person. I think that the intended purposes of this story and its theme are to persuade the audience to belief in these ideas, and for entertainment.

Over the course of the semester, there has been numerous amount of areas where I believe I have improved in comparison to high school. What has helped me in my writing is the writing class and the in-class writing workshop. The writing class that is located in the Kremen education building has helped me with my writing greatly because in the writing center the person in charge teach us lenses and we apply those lenses to the writing, draft, or reading that someone brings in. The in-class writing workshop has helped me because other students get to read my writing. This is helpful because I get feedback from many students and they let me know what needs to be fixed. A new tool I have been using is They Say I Say. The book is very helpful because of the information and examples it provides such as the templates. I have been applying the templates into my essays and I have seen a significant difference.

Since the beginning of the semester, my writing has changed and evolved to accommodate and sustain longer essays. With longer essays, there is more room for in-depth analysis. Further analyzing a topic has led me to findings that I did not know existed. As I continue to write, I uncover addition and superior methods to approach my writing to the benefit of me and therefore, my audience. Throughout the semester, I have incorporated techniques to further my narrative throughout my writing.
