Part One: What is a worldview?
A world view is an individuals moral code by which they base their life decisions on and it is how societys ongoing and new issues will be viewed based on values, faith, and personal philosophies.
Part Two: Articulate the biblical/Christian Worldview
The Question of Origin
Genesis 5:1 and Corinthians 11:12 attest to the origin of human creation as both present a logical argument and conclusion just as many passages in the bible state that the human race comes from the creator who is God.
The Question of Identity
In John 1:12-13, it says that the human race is derived from God and created in his image, which is a big influence in how our identity is shaped and our moral individual compass is formed. In Ephesians 2:19 the concept of identity is further explained by reinforcing that we are all Gods children and we are identified as members of Gods family.
The Question of Meaning/Purpose
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 and Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 explain the meaning and purpose that God had in mind for the human race. Humans are placed on this earth for a reason and each member of the human race has a pre-determined plan that we are supposed to follow before we are born. We can choose to embrace Gods plan and accept him as our lord and savior or we can choose to divert from the path and take our punishment when we are called on judgment day.
The Question of Morality
In Matthew 7:12 and Proverbs 20:1, they give us lessons in what is right, wrong, and having morals. I believe that a persons morals are formed by their individual worldview. Morals are influenced by our family upbringing, individual beliefs, and personal experiences. Society and peer pressure can also influence the moral code that we live by. The key to having morality is in every choice or decision that we make have to be with Gods will in mind so that we may live in his kingdom.
The Question of Destiny
Jeremiah 29:11 and Romans 8:29 discuss faith and destiny. From birth God has mapped out the path that we are to travel to the end. It is our job to appreciate the gift that god has given us, leap over hurdles, cross barriers, and get through the trails and tribulations that life will throw at us. The key is to try and make choices that God has defined as our purpose and destiny of being here on this earth.
Part Three:
Think about, treat, and speak to others on a daily basis?
I was taught by my parents to treat and speak to others the same way that I would want to be treated.
