Introduction The apostle Paul wrote a masterpiece of a letter in the book of Romans, teaching its readers about different aspects of the Christian life or the life God intended for us. In Romans 1-8 specifically he teaches the worldview on the natural world, human identity, human relationships, and most importantly culture. This essay will dive into my worldview and what I interpret the biblical worldview to be.
Natural World The natural world is much the same as is has always been “The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.” (Psalms 24:1).

Paul spoke to both the Gentiles and the Jews the same, yes the Jews were held to the laws as well but everyone is still Gods creation and will be judged the same on judgment day. “For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died” (Romans 7:9). Before knowing my faith and knowing the world God I thought I was innocent, and then I learned of the bible and of God’s word. I am not so innocent, I just as everyone else has sinned, however I will live by my faith and the word. “What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?” (Romans
