Elements of Christian Worldview
Since the world creation, many years had passed. Through the story of the world, many different changes happened. Every minute something is going on, that makes us more different in our views. There are 7.4 billion human beings on the planet Earth, and all of these human beings are unique. If you would ask this 7.4 billion, people one simple question, “what do you believe in?” They will give you different answers. I am writing this paper with understanding that there is a need to give answers about general statement of true Christian faith.
What is God like?
From the Christian point of view, God is the lovely father of his kids He is almighty creator of entire universe, who are sending us forgiveness for all our sins through his son Jesus Christ. Christian’s worldview about God is holding only on what can found in the Bile. And in the Bible we can find that God is: Holy “for he is a holy God” (Joshua 24:19 The Lutheran Study Bible: English Standard Version), Lovely “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son” (John 3:16). Righteous “and may You establish righteous” (Psalms 7:9) Everlasting “the everlasting God” (Genesis 21:33), Merciful “whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). Those are general description of God.
What are God's characteristics?
Main characteristic of God in Christian worldview - God is three persons in One (Holy Trinity) - Father, Holy Spirit, and Jesus Christ. Three persons but one God. In the same time, God is Spirit, and God is Human being (Jesus Christ). From the characteristics as character, I would mention that from the Christian worldview, God is full with glory and righteousness.
What is his creation?
Humanity: What is human nature?
Human nature is the spiritual condition of human being and it explains how they will act. Right before Adam and Eve had committed sin, they had clear and pure nature, in total harmony with God. Now everyone have just sinful nature because of the sin “And in sin did my mother conceive me” (Psalms 51:5). So Christians do believe that God made Adam and Eve with pure nature, later this purity was injured by sin, but it will be purified back after the second come.
What is human purpose?
Christian’s purpose of human being is to serve to God, proclaim word of truth in order to give more and more people chance for salvation. True believer will act correct to show Gods glory, and he will do this because God said to us to help, love because of the grace that was given to us through Jesus Christ. Best description of purpose can be find in this words “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost”.
What is the root cause of human problems?
Jesus: What is Jesus' true identity?
What did Jesus do? Why isJesus' identity and work significant for the Christian worldview?
In Christian worldview, Jesus stands on the main place. Why? I guess that Apostles Creed will explain the best “And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell. On the third day, He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead.”.
What is the solution to human problems according to the Christian worldview?
What role do grace and faith play in Christian salvation?
Grace – is undeserved love that God provides with for each human being. If this grace disappears, humanity will suffer. And Christian faith is only way to receive true grace. So they are strongly correlated each to other. And salvation is the ended result of this two statements. God gave his grace to Christians, so they through faith in Jesus Christ will receive salvation.
How do Christians think that the transformation of self and society happens?
Christians believe that after the baptism, human beings are receiving holy grace from the Lord. And they are trying to change environment around them for better. Because whenever they go, they do remember that Holy Spirit is with them, and with his help, there are nothing impossible to do. And by changing their lives for better they are giving good examples for society, and society will accept such order, because this is good.
What are the benefits or strengths of Christian belief?
The great benefit from being Christian is to know, that God is always with you. He will always protect you, and he will support you wherever you will be. This strength provides people with ability to survive in the hardest day, and keep warm faith in their hearts. True believer will never be frustrated, because he knows that God is with him. Moreover, when the time of life will come to the end, Christian will leave this planet with no fear, since God is with him.
What is troublesome or confusing about Christianity?
Many people are calling themselves as Christians, but in the same time, they are not. They are following false prophets, and they will not feel the true faith. Devil had done many things, so people would not hear Holly Gospel. And those problems are the greatest.
How does Christianity influence a person's thinking and behavior?
Christians behaves, as God want him to behave. People, who does believe in Christ, will follow Gods word, not because the society needs this from him, but because he believes. He will act correctly, and will try to spend his life righteously.
If you are a Christian, how specifically do you live out the beliefs of the Christian worldview?
I am a Christian. My life is full of different temptations. In addition, I am always trying to avoid them by acting as God told me too. However, I know that I am full with the sin of Grandfather Adam, and I have so many sins that without forgiveness of Jesus Christ I would never receive eternal life. I live with words of God in my heart, and I will try to act that way, so I will not put a shadow of shame on the name of the Christianity.
Conclusion
Christians in their worldview knows who is their God. They do know his name, and they know that He will never leave them alone, because lovely father would never leave his kid for his own choice. Christians also know about their sinful nature. They do know that only through the true faith in Jesus Christ, they will receive salvation, and they surely will. True Christian will act that way that he with his good deeds, will proclaim God's word, so more people will go to heavens. There are many problems with that, because devil does know his work and I know that It will be hard, but with holy faith, and with righteous people around, I will find pleasure in doing this.
