Introduction/ Thesis
We are all raised with a specific set of beliefs and values. Each person’s worldview progresses throughout time as they experience new life events and interact with the world around them. It can give purpose and meaning to our lives. A biblical worldview is believing that our existence is to love and serve God. As Christians, we believe that God has created us in his image and we must live our lives according to his words. Chapters 1-8 of Romans are an excellent source in setting up a Christian’s biblical worldview. In these chapters, Paul explains the fundamentals of the Christian faith, how we should look at the natural universe, our individuality, relationships, culture and so much more.

The Book of Romans teaches us that we are to worship the creator, not the created. As Christians we know and trust that the natural world was made by God. Genesis Chapter 1 tells us the creation occurred in six days and on the seventh day God rested. “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and godhead; so that they are without excuse” (Romans 1:20).

We hold our own human nature, but we were also created in the image of God himself. Apart from God, man lacks meaning and purpose.

Society has decided that they are smart enough to overlook God, and to declare an existence without him and this is what is occurring in the world today. People think that they will be better off on their own. Paul establishes the sinful nature, or identity, of man by saying, “As it is written, “There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one” (Romans 3:10-12). Additionally, Paul explains that not only is society unholy, but it does not appreciate God.
Human Relationships
Human relationships are oftentimes confusing and are usually the hardest part of life. Sin exists against our own self’s and also against others. This is why it is so terrible to kill another human being; you might as well kill God himself. As he, being our creator should be the only one who gets to decide when another human being should depart and if we were created in his image, then we must respect one another just as we should always respect God. “So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets”
