My Personal Worldview A belief in something is what defines your entire outlook on life and the world around you. Phillips, et. al., describe a worldview as, “A world view is the framework of our most basic beliefs that shapes our view of and for the world and is the basis of our decisions and actions” (2008, pg. 8). Everybody has a different “story” in life, therefore we all have a different worldview. What do I believe to be true? Why do I believe it to be true? How does this apply to my day to day life? The answers to these questions for me, originated from my upbringing and continue to expand as I grow older. All of these questions are different and affect each individual in a unique way.

This applies to my daily life in many different ways. Being saved by the blood of Jesus, my daily life is impacted. I am called to love God first and others second. I am also called to walk humbly with God. “He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God” (Micha 6:8). I spend time with God daily by reading His word and by praying.

I reach out to others about the gospel. Dr. Greg Hall, from answersingenesis.org, offers some wisdom on this, “As we teach them apologetics and help them learn how to study the Bible to feed their own souls, we will be fostering a faith that will withstand the attacks on the world. Firmly grounding their worldview in Scripture offers them great hope and assurance that they can conquer the challenges from the world.” I think this is so important to remember, especially in our world today. Christian values are being attacked more and more every day. If …show more content…
While here on earth, we are to worship and serve Him as Lord and Savior. Everything that we see and do in life shapes our worldview. Thankfully, I grew up in a Christian family and therefore, I have a strong biblical worldview. I also have to be respectful of others worldview, even with other Christians, as they won’t be the same as mine. Sire (2015) explains this as pluralism. I need to be open to looking closer at why they believe what they do and try to understand them better. With all the evil that is happening in our world today, I hold strong to my faith and keep the Bible close when doubts come my way. There are so many temptations out there on social media, TV, and movies deriving from Satan. It’s important as Christians that we hold onto our convictions, lest we be separated from them. It is with strong conviction and faith that we can force the immoral provokers away from our lives indefinitely.
