Introduction
A worldview is an implicit factor that impacts a person’s beliefs, morality, and the way they approach decision-making. It defines how individuals answer the questions about the world around them and bout their purpose. This paper reflects on the issue of worldview and the foundations of the Christian worldview.
Biblical Worldview
I would define a biblical worldview as the way any person sees the world around them.
The foundation or authority of a Biblical worldview is the Bible since it reflects the main values and moral standards. Through the Scriptures, God communicated the basis of the Christian worldview to the people (“Reading & study,” n.d.). A Liberty University student can go about developing a better Biblical worldview outside of class by learning more about the foundations from this worldview and how different people interpret it or use it to make decisions in their day-to-day lives.
A worldview affects a person’s understanding of their purpose because it is a blueprint of their values. For example, Christians respect other people and will choose to live their life in a way, which is consistent with what is said in the Scriptures, unlike atheists. For me, some of the goals of my school life are to develop a more cohesive understanding of the world and myself through learning. Having a Biblical worldview can positively impact these goals by providing a framework for achieving them. Moreover, my Biblical worldview shapes my purpose for pursuing education by encouraging me to get a comprehension of Christianity and the way it views the world.
Based on the “Diversity at Liberty” video, culture is what shapes a person’s way of life. People from different cultures may have varied beliefs and traditions that impact the way they live their lives or approach decision-making (“Diversity and global awareness,” n.d.). However, one can work with people from different cultures by accepting that different viewpoint exist. A Biblical worldview can further propel this since the Bible clearly outlines that all people are a reflection of the image of God. This means that they should be respected and treated with respect. To effectively engage with others, it is vital to use Christian values.
Conclusion
Overall, this paper reflects on some of the aspects of a Biblical worldview. From the textbook reading, this assignment, and the videos, I learned about the impact that a worldview has on every aspect of a person’s life – their way of making decisions, understanding of purpose, and interactions with others.
