BIBLICAL CHRISTIAN WORLDVIEW

1.
Paul spent much of his missionary time teaching Jesus’s word. Paul often refers to himself as a salve of God, and with this he brings the true meaning of Jesus’s message to us on many instructional levels. His instruction is from everything to creation to marriage, justification and salvation. Our biblical worldview is constructed according to the Book of Romans, to view our death, judgement, our soul and all of human kind.
Creation:
Paul challenges his audience to see God as our creator, those of us who are Christians have no doubt, but for the benefit of the non-believer, Paul begins to navigate through the “Romans Road

We understand this to be rebellious against God and every Christian who tries to please God struggles with sin. In Romans 5:12 (NIV), Paul tells us “through Adam sin entered into the world and so death was passed on to all men because the “wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23 NIV) The effect of Adam’s sin on nature is connected with the human dominion over nature (Gen. 1:26-28 NIV). Since Adam was accountable to God to rule the earth and to tend the garden, his sin affected the natural world for which he was responsible. Paul is explaining no matter how talented, wisdom oriented and knowledgeable we are we will never combat sin on our own, and to understand this is to understand Paul and stand alongside with hm.
Romans 6:1:14 proclaims the good news, sinners can understand and make things right by believing in all off Jesus’s works. Paul is expressing his belief in the Genesis account of Adam and Eve and supports the idea that they are not some legendary beings and for this reason we need to be redemptive. Adam and Eve simply disobeyed God, and when Paul references death he is not just describing our physical death but warns us of our spiritual death as well. When we sin we are not right with God, we continue to separate ourselves from him by this very act of

Our consistency with being Christians is faltered because of sin and one day are status will have changed. In theory we are no different than the audience 2000 years ago we are still on the same ground Paul stood one. According to Moo 8“With the first coming of Chris and pouring out of the scripture accomplished, the next event on the eschatological timetable is the return of Christ I glory” (Moo. Pg.369). To understand completely is that this was true for Paul as it is for us. We too have to wait when the unbelief of the nation of Israel changes to acceptance and faith for

    He presents clarifications for the natural world, humanities identity, humanities relationships, and makes an impact despite the confused culture. The Book of Romans displays several attributes of God: righteousness, sovereignty, justice, and omnipresence. God has existed eternally, and the plan of salvation had long been established to be completed by Jesus. Pauls’ letter to the Roman church is a great biblical starting point for understanding Christianity. Paul wholeheartedly presents the case for man’s sins against God, salvation from it, who God is, and how a believer should live.…

    Paul’s Letter to the Galatians plays a pivotal role in shaping theological understanding as we know it. It has provoked us to rethink about our relationship with God, and to reconsider who really is this God we serve? In this case, Galatians holds such great reverence among Christians in answering these overarching questions, because of Paul’s skillful ability to challenge authority and condemn the Galatians for following under “the desires of the flesh,” rather than living by “the Spirit” (5.16). In order for us to understand the significance of Galatians and its role in shaping our interpretation of these questions, we must first cultivate a deeper understanding of the context behind Paul’s letter within the interest of the contemporary reader.…

    Finally N.T. Wright ends his book with what can easily be deemed the most spectacular chapter (ch. 8) in this already well-rounded book. The first issue addressed in this chapter is the relationship between Jesus and Paul. In an elegant manner, N.T. Wright uses the metaphor of Jesus being a composer, while Paul is a conductor. Christ wrote the music, while Paul merely applied the music.…

    According to 1 Corinthians, sin is causing another believer to sin. It explains in more depth that sin is not glorifying God through one’s actions, something that causes one’s neighbor to stumble, or something that hinders the Gospel from being spread. All of one’s actions should glorify God. When a believer’s actions do glorify God, it gives others an example to follow…

    In Scot McKnight’s The King Jesus Gospel, the questions begged include whether or not Jesus preached the gospel, whether the gospel Paul preached is the same gospel Jesus preached, and whether the gospel we as Christians currently preach are the same, or even close to, the gospel Paul and Jesus preached. McKnight begins the readers’ journey through the gospel by introducing what the gospel actually is. The apostolic gospel is defined as an expansion of 1 Corinthians 15, where Paul “quote[s] tradition” in that he follows what the scriptures laid out as the story of Jesus-a continuation of the story of Israel (47). After establishing the definition of the apostolic gospel, McKnight continues on to investigate the point the Church swayed from preaching the apostolic gospel of the Lord’s inward and outward salvation of the world to preaching a gospel focused on individual salvation.…

    Primary Source: In Romans 1-9 we start off by having Paul sharing reflections and argues that there is not room for sin because God is righteous. Paul then talks about Abraham and how reminds us that God liked Abraham because he had faith in God. We then learn that sin came into the world through man and that death came into the world by sin and that death had exercised dominion over Adam and Moses. He explains how it took one person to bring sin into the world, but how it also took one to bring salvation and eternal life which was Jesus Christ.…

In six days, God created everything from the light to man, which He created in His own image. However, though a single individual man, sin entered the world, and death also came through sin. God sees sin as rebellion against Him.…
