The Worldviews of Christians The Christian worldview is one that many people around the world hold close to their hearts. This worldview is a view of love and hope and of redemption, and follows the teachings found in the Holy Bible as they are the Word of God. However, it has become apparent that some denominations don’t quite believe in the same foundations of the Christian worldview as others do. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, shares some core beliefs with this overall worldview but has its differences and many regard them as non-Christian because of it. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS) is a religion that teaches the same teachings of love and hope and redemption but it teaches some things a little

Christians are taught, “We are to love our fellows, to love all people, in fact, as neighbors. All people bear the image of God. They have value, not because they are redeemed, but because they are God 's creation in God 's image.” (F.A. Schaeffer, 1995). This is a true mark of Christianity because it teaches so much. It teaches humility, sacrifice, to be giving and understanding. Christianity teaches us to be accepting of others even if they are different than us because it is what Jesus would do. A confusing part of Christianity is the many translations of the bible. They are all just a little bit different and so therefore most denominations all believe things a little differently. There isn’t just one Christian church there are Baptist, Catholics, Apostolic, Latter-Day Saints, and many more. They all teach roughly the same ideas and values but are all different. Other types of faiths don’t seem to have this many separations in beliefs and could therefore seem less confusing.

Many people within the Christian faith have told me that I am not one of the two. I personally have my own Christian worldview that is different from others and for that I have been told I am wrong. I come from a religion of peace and harmony with oneself and with God. I love the people around me and I try not to judge, as it is not my place. My religion is very close to my heart and can be seen in my every day interactions. I treat people with respect and kindness and I know that even a simple smile can change someone’s day. My God is my Heavenly and Eternal Father who loves me and I love Him. Jesus Christ is my Eternal Brother, Savior, and Redeemer and without Him, I wouldn’t be able to see my family again after we have all passed on from this world. I am nowhere near a perfect person, but I try and when I fall short, I know that I can turn to my God and ask for forgiveness. I love being a Christian and tit brings so much joy and happiness into my life. One day, I will be able to thank God for sending His son to this earth so that I could have the opportunities I have
