Benchmark Assignments: Gospel Essentials It can be said that the worldview I live by is a Christians Worldview. God has been a very important part of my life from my upbringing as a child to me being an adult and raising my own family. There are worldviews that don’t even believe in God or have different beliefs in a God of their own understanding. In this paper I will talk about who God is, how humanity played a part, who is Jesus, and restoring everything back to God. God is good. God is trinity, one God he is the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit. Everything that God stands for is love. God is omnipotent. According to Hiles and Smith (2014) “Some attributes distinctly belong to God. Some of these attributes would be that he is unchanging,

God created us to have a relationship with him to worship and to obey him. When we were created we held some of the same attributes of God. He created us for the good, to love, and to be faithful to him. God gave us free will to make our own choices and decisions. The purpose of humans was to serve God because he was the creator of all. In my eyes God has a purpose for all mankind. “In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to praise of his glory.”(Ephesians 1:11-12 ESV) I think the core root of human problem started with the fall of man.

The only thing God had asked of Adam and Eve was not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil or you shall die. The serpent had manipulated Eve into disobeying Gods one rule. The serpent told Eve to eat the fruit that she and Adam could be as Gods themselves, to know good and evil and surely would not die.

Jesus was a great teacher who came into the world to preach and teach the gospel of Christ. Jesus was of flesh and was sent to do Gods work to help humanity rebuild a relationship with God.

Jesus work was so significant for the Christian worldview because Jesus was humanities only hope for redemption. “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one come to the Father except through me.”(John 14:6 ESV) The resurrection of Jesus helped restore humanities relationship with
