What is a Christian worldview? | GotQuestions.org

Today's question is, what is a Christian worldview? In this video I'll answer that question from a biblical perspective.

Then afterwards, as always, I'll share some helpful resources, so stick around until the end.

A worldview refers to a comprehensive conception of the world from a specific standpoint. A Christian worldview, then, is a comprehensive conception of the world from a

Christian standpoint. For example, an apple sitting on a table is seen by several people.

A botanist looking at the apple classifies it. An artist sees a still life and draws it.

A grocer sees an asset and inventories it. A child sees lunch and eats it.

How we look at any situation is influenced by how we look at the world at large. Every worldview,

Christian and non -Christian, deals with at least these three questions. 1. Where did we come from and why are we here?

2. What is wrong with the world? 3. How can we fix it? A prevalent worldview today is naturalism, which answers the three questions like this.

1. We are the product of random acts of nature with no real purpose. 2. We do not respect nature as we should.

3. We can save the world through ecology and conservation. A naturalistic worldview generates many related philosophies, such as moral relativism, existentialism, pragmatism, and utopianism.

A Christian worldview, on the other hand, answers the three questions biblically. 1. We are God's creation, designed to govern the world and fellowship with Him Genesis 1, verses 27 -28 and Genesis 2, verse 15.

2. We sin against God and subject the whole world to a curse Genesis 3. And 3.

God Himself has redeemed the world through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ Genesis 3, verse 15 and Luke 19, verse 10.

And, well, one day, restore creation to its former perfect state Isaiah 65, verses 17 -25.

A Christian worldview leads us to believe in moral absolutes, miracles, human dignity, and the possibility of redemption.

It is important to remember that a worldview is comprehensive. It affects every area of life, from money to morality, from politics to art.

True Christianity is more than a set of ideas to use at church. Christianity, as taught in the

Bible, is itself a worldview. The Bible never distinguishes between a religious and a secular life.

The Christian life is the only life there is. Jesus proclaimed Himself, the way, the truth, and the life—John 14, verse 6—and doing so became our worldview.
