Bible Beliefs In The Bible

Today, in modern day living, people are talking about either of the two worldviews, and the importance of that chosen worldview. However, one can choose to live by the principles of a secular worldview or a biblical worldview. This study highlights the distinguishable difference between a secular worldview and a biblical worldview, the incorporation of belief and doctrine, and the theories of vocations and the efforts for living righteously.

A worldview is the overall structure that a human being can use to interpret the world and how it applies to their life individually. It is what people believe about the big questions in their lives; who are we, how did we get here, is God real and why are we here? In today’s modern world, there are many different views regarding the natural world, human identity, human relationships, and culture. This paper will focus on the worldview and implications of these topics based on the Bible, in particular, Romans 1-8, and how it still applies in today’s world.

Scripture opens with a witness to the act of God in creation. This fact points to us that understanding the world as the creation of the infinite-personal God is a fundamental starting point in constructing any kind of adequate theology. What is also clear is that it is important to get this understanding right, to the extent that we can do so. “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Gen 1:1 HCSB) (Akin, Theology of the church). But with the revelation of the speaking God who has told us what he has done should make us want to please him each and every day and to show him we love him to.

Christians form a worldview from many places, including on the internet, in the workplace, at school, from family members and friends, “these worldviews find their way behind the church doors” mixed in with Christian thoughts, and sometimes thought of as Christian beliefs (Wilkens & Sanford, 2009, pp.18). God’s word should be the only answer to a Godly worldview. Paul’s letter to the Christians in Rome disclose to the world, his views of the natural world, human identity, human relationships, and culture.

Whilst the bible does not specifically mention euthanasia, it does address closely related topics. Euthanasia is essentially killing out of mercy, hence the name ‘mercy killing’. The bible tells us that we are not to murder (Exodus 20:13) and any form of taking a life is seen as killing. It says that we die when God chooses us to, and to murder is an attempt to deny God his right of appointing death. Therefore, ‘mercy killing’ is going against God’s will and is a sin. The sixth commandment is “You shall not murder”, and that justifies what is previously said. However, in the beatitudes, it says “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy”. If we show mercy by killing,

In keeping with the image of God, it is often a struggle to exhibit patience, kindness or even self-control with the psychotic patient yelling, cursing or fighting you. Everyone one of us has problems to face in our lifetime. I feel that God sees our struggles and help is always available. Mental health carries a very negative stigma in today’s society. As nurses, we know that those with mental illness are no different from those with hypertension or diabetes. Yet, God has a purpose for everyone. As a nurse, first, you need to develop trust. Without trust, there is no relationship. As much as you want to walk away from this patient, you know that they are sick and need your undivided attention. Generally, I try to kill them with kindness, let them vent within reason, and always tell them the truth about what is happening and going on. As irrational as the patient is, scripture says that I am not to judge them for their actions. Luke 6:37 states: “Do not judge and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.” (HCSB) I have to exert self-control to avoid feeding into their anger, frustration, delusions, lies, or false hopes. Not only am I the nurse, but I am a servant of the Lord. Therefore, while everything seems to be crumbling down for the suicidal or depressed patient, I need to let my faith

When taking into consideration the fact that all of mankind was created in the image of God, the way we interact with others and/or conduct ourselves is vital. As an Elementary school teacher, my goal is to ensure that I not only teach and guide my students, but lead them by example “The standard is that a believer should conduct his life in this earthly world by the principles God has bestowed upon him in the heavenly world.” (Towns, 2007) Therefore, it is imperative that we are mindful of our actions so that our interactions are always at their best.

After watching the various videos for the Biblical world view assignment, I have found several aspects that are very interesting to me. The first video “Doing the Right Thing” by Chuck Colson grabbed my attention in several ways. First are the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr “It is our moral responsibly to resist unjust law” (Doing the Right Thing Group Bible study by Charles Colson, Brit Hume - Trailer, 2012). I have always thought that just because something was a law did not make it morally right. I firmly believe as the speakers in the Colson video pointed out that the government should operate under moral law.

Liberal is a word whose meaning has multiple connotations. For many the word is synonymous with freedom and open-mindedness. For others, it refers to people and ideas that lack practicality and discipline. When the Puritans came to America in 1630, their leader John Winthrop told them to be liberal in spirit in a way that was like the prophet Nehemiah’s urgings and Matthew’s teachings of kindness. However, he also reminded his followers to balance benevolent generosity for strangers with prudent care for their families. He felt that kindness and liberality to the poor was the best way to show God’s love and grace. Winthrop felt that the Puritans should be willing to give up their desires to help provide the poor with the things that they needed. This is because materialism was thought to be counterproductive to the teachings of the Bible. The Bible teaches that one should have no god but God and that if a person focused too much on obtaining profit and materialistic pleasures they would perish. Since this period there has been a struggle in America to balance concern for oneself and one’s family with that of the community.

Worldview may be defined as the programming of the mind through which one understands and relates to the world. Just like tinted lenses will cause one to see a “red” or “blue” world, different worldviews will “shade” our lives. Yet, where “red” and “blue” mix, we must choose only one.

Sara was at a coffee shop with a friend, Joanna, and started have a discussion. They start to talk about different things happening in the world and how they view them. They talked about how the world begin, how to treat people, and much more. This conversation went on for a while and Sara was using the Bible to back-up what she was saying, while Joanna had nothing to support what she believed in. Sara had a biblical worldview.

Not knowing or understanding the biblical worldview, as Christians, can be very detrimental to the people of the world, because we are called to lead others to Christ. In today existence, there are many cries and screams for answers for everyday life; furthermore, the greatest and the most difficult achievement is to find meaning in life. I read an interesting book about worldview by Phillips, W. G., Brown, W. E. & Stonestreet, J (2008). Making sense of your world; A biblical worldview quoted, “A worldview has been compared to a pair of glasses through which we see the world. Without these glasses, the world would appear as an unfocused, meaningless blob of people, places, and ideas. Our worldview puts the world in focus and shapes how we make

There are so many wonderful things about the gospel and knowing that we serve a gracious and merciful God. To know that God sent his son down to earth to pay for our sins is an incredible gift and through the gospel we get to receive it in its entirety. Most people don’t understand the great love God has for us and everything he’s truly done for the greater good of his people and I hope that I can get more and more people closer to a relationship with God as I grow in my faith as well. Four things about the gospel that have stood out to me are that it connects us as humans to God through his son Jesus who is our savior, it is the “good news”, it is the truth, and it teaches us about God’s grace.
