I am now taking my final classes to finish up my degree, and one of the assignments this past week was to write out your world view and defend it. I have thought about what my world view is but never wrote it down. While writing it for the assignment it took on a whole new meaning to me personally once it was committed to paper! It’s a great assignment and something that all Christians should do in order to make a stance on what they believe. So check it out and consider to write out your world view!
My world view is that God is the creator of everything and overall responsible for the worlds functions. He has given man the ability to have dominion over His creation but with that dominion, comes responsibility.
(Genesis 1:28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”)
He has given man rules to follow and if the rules are obeyed, life will be enhanced, if they are not life will be challenging. Once conceived, and we fulfill our “short stay” on earth, we live forever either in heaven or hell. God wants all people to be saved since he created them and loves all humanity.
(1 Timothy 2:4 who wants all men to be saved and to come to knowledge of the truth.)
God is love, so love is the strongest force in the universe; it has the ability to transform lives.God loves people so much that He wants life to be perfect for them, therefore, He sent Jesus as the perfect sacrifice for sin. Since sin cannot be in God’s presence, a personrequires the blood of Christ to stand before a holy God. Once a person accepts Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior they are in righteous standing before God and under the new covenant. This grants them eternal life and gives them sonship in the kingdom of God.
(1 Corinthians 5:21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.)
If they do not accept Jesus Christ then they will condemn themselves to hell for not believing in the Son of God. There will come a day when the earth and the people in it will be judged for its actions, but God is so patient, he has chosen to delay his judgment until every person on earth has the opportunity to hear the message of the Gospel.
(John 3:18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.)
