Benchmark Assignment: Gospel Essentials
The Christian worldview is a view that stands out compared to other views. It is the belief that God created everything, has control of everything, and wants to be in communion with mankind. This paper will be about the Christian worldview and how it relates to God and Jesus, humanity, and the dealings of this world.
God
In the Christian worldview, God is at the center of this perspective. He is all-knowing, all-present, and all-powerful (Diffey, 2014).

Humans desire fellowship and love just like God does, so the story of Jesus is the easiest thing to mention to anyone who asks about Christianity. I certainly have many faults and battle with sin, but God is on my conscience every day and I try to listen to that and follow it as best as I can. I believe one day we will be reunited with God and will love together for
