Introduction
Understanding what the Christian worldview is is a necessary stage of obtaining it for a faithful Christian. Knowing the basics of cultural studies, such as culture and civic and global engagement, allows one to teach others different viewpoints and involve them in a common cause.
Christian Worldview, Diverse Cultures and Me
The most straightforward answer to what the Christian worldview constitutes is that it is the personal philosophy of Christians. A more complex one would be that it is a cognitive, interpretive, and responsive model of the Christian person where the moral, ethical, psychological, and theological core is scripture. As with any other element of Christianity, “the Bible is the foundation for the Christian worldview” (Elliott, 2021, para. 5). A believer can enhance their world perception by communicating with local religious leaders, reading canonical and non-canonical books and academic works on Abrahamic theology, and performing Christian rituals.
The purpose of my life as a Christian is to follow the commandments and not commit deadly sins. My principal life goals now are becoming a better contributor to society and developing a proficient knowledge of my profession and Abrahamic theology. Paradoxically, having a Christian worldview makes it both easier and more challenging to achieve these goals. It shows the best yet the most challenging and demanding path to achieve them. Education is a journey to the truth, and God has commanded people to seek it, so pursuing professional knowledge is paramount to me.
Culture is the accumulation of a particular community’s historical activities and achievements, including language, writing, societal lifestyle, art, industry, architecture, military affairs, and methods of obtaining food and natural resources. People of different cultures can cooperate through cultural similarities or by understanding their differences. Having a Christian worldview means being a messenger of God and his Word, a channel and mouthpiece of His Will to those who have not yet revealed the truth. Others can be engaged through educational activities, preaching, and religious charity.
Conclusion
Religious introspection is as crucial for a true believer as a scriptural study or theological research. Knowing how their faith affects the way one sees the world develops their morality and character and reveals how to share their worldview with culturally distinct individuals and communities effectively.
