The Essentials of the Gospel
The contains of this paper will outline the basic foundation of the Christian Worldview. In addition, it will explain my personal beliefs of Christian worldview. Man’s disconnection from God was inevitable because the nature of man is imperfect.
God:
There are many different worldviews and each with its own understanding of what God is like. Likewise, not all worldviews belief in God or the existence of God. For example, because we can’t see God then the moon and the stars our God (Atheism). In addition, some cultures believe that everything was created by God, therefore God is everything and everything must be praised (Pantheism). Also, each and everyone of those worldviews make up a little of what God is like, but not the entire picture. The word of God doesn’t attempt to prove God’s existence. However, it is assumed through out the Bible. “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1 New Living Version). God takes the form of a spirit “God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth” (John 4:24 New Living Version). God is made is a sprint, even though he walked the earth as Jesus during his time on earth. Likewise, God is omnipotent the all powerful God., omnipresent God everywhere, and the all knowing God. “Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account” (Hebrews 4:13 New International Version). Moreover, God loved us even during our disobedience and when sin entered the world. Humanity: What is human nature? “Human nature refers to the essential feature of human beings” (Puffer, 2007). Likewise, even though we are made in the image of Christ humans are made-up of three different parts body, soul and spirit. May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. “May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Thessalonians 5:23 New International Version). The soul is special to mankind because unlike even other mamma such as dogs, cats, lions, tigers and bears which are made up of body and spirit but lack a soul. Moreover, mankind’s persistence is for one reason to give God the glory. Adam was man as God intended man to be, we know this because there was no other man to walk the earth before Adam. While, we as human-beings are created in the likeness of God and created as perfect creatures, we have been born into this sinful life because the fall of humanity. Likewise, because of the disobedience of Adam and Eve we all had been disconnected from God. God is a prefect gentleman who would not force himself a pond us therefore her created us as free human-being with the will to

God has been there from the beginning. God created the havens and the earth. “For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him” (Colossians 1:16 English Standard Version). The Son of God was sent down to earth as Jesus Christ. Likewise, Jesus Christ come to earth to take our place of the cross. Because we were disconnected from God, Jesus Christ sacrificed himself to reconnect us to the father. The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost” (1 Timothy 1:15 English Standard Version). In addition, this was all planned by God for Jesus to deliver salvation to the earth. God didn’t kill us for all the sinful acts that we committed but he justified us. Moreover, Jesus Christ give us grace and mercy even when we didn’t deserve it.
Analysis:
There are many benefits of Christian faith and Jesus Christ, being able to access true wisdom and knowledge. The issues many of people have regarding the Christian faith is the thought of God forgiving people for certain sins committed. For example, I was asked how someone who killed my father be forgiven and goes to haven. In addition, having a full understanding of Gods power is a huge part of the Christian

    For thousands of years, care of the inner self was primarily the domain of religion. The advent of modern psychology in the late 1800s put this care in new hands; today, approaches to integrating the worlds of Christianity and psychology span a broad range (Entwhistle, 2010). Some individuals or factions in each field of expertise view the other with contempt, viewing spiritual doctrine and psychological research/practice as incompatible. Others pick and choose aspects to sprinkle into their own field, such as psychologists who see therapeutic merit in prayer & meditation apart from the beliefs that ground them, or Christian counselors who develop or borrow therapeutic methods based on similarity to Christian disciplines without attention to empirical methodology…

    Wright, in his book Simply Christian: Why Christianity Exists, argues that God has no intention of “abandoning this world”, instead God has a glorious “rescue operation” planned, raising “all His people to new bodily life to live in it”. (Wright 58) God has begun this magnificent rescue operation utilizing Israel, the Church, and Jesus to complete his plan. Through these three, Wright believes that God intends for the “kingdom of the world to become kingdom of God” in which “the beauty of this world will be enfolded in the beauty of God”, and thus, only completing his rescue operation “when the present world is rescued, healed, restored, and completed.” (Wright 78) Israel, a nation with a history of rebellion, turmoil, and pain, is ultimately…

    Christian worldview contrast. As described above Christians, Muslims and Atheist maintain different worldviews. Simply, one can conclude that the main difference between the three worldviews is that Muslims believe in Allah, Atheist don’t believe in a specific God (no physical proof), and Christians believe in Jesus. Specifically, Muslims tend to believe in the Quran context as being literal and without metaphors. As Christians tend to read the Holy Bible and understand that there are numerous metaphors.…

    Many people in the world today have decided that a world view does not matter; that everyone can simply believe what they would like to believe, and it would not make a difference. However, this is not true; a man’s worldview determines his every act! (Overman) Hitler for example, believed that Jews, disabled people, and elderly people were worthless; he thought that he could make a perfect world. His beliefs led to his actions.…

    We do not deserve to go to heaven, but we are able to do that through Jesus. So, to be saved by grace means that the judgment due to us because of our sin against God, i.e. lying, stealing, adultery, fornication, coveting, lust, etc., will not befall us; that is forgiveness. But in addition, we get what we do not deserve, being in the presence of God. Finally, the only way to be saved by grace is by putting your trust in what Jesus did on the cross. Christians believe that real transformation happens when one accepts Christ in their heart and the Holy Spirit dwells in their…
