Worldview Writing Assignment Part 2
A worldview is someone’s perspective of the world based on their origins and morality; it is to see the world through a pair of lenses, that is usually related to a particular culture and beliefs, which makes people acquire a common sense about what is right or wrong, and also about existence. Moreover, it is a personal perception of life, and the development of judging.

Having this said, we can determine that based on people’s beliefs, worldviews may differ from one another. A Biblical Worldview, for instance, is the ability to see the world from a Christian perspective, where origins and morality are based on Scripture, in the Bible. Therefore, the question about the origin is answered with Creationism, where God created all things, and in this way, believers understand that Humanity started from the principle that God created man based on His image, where He gave life to Adam, and from his rib, Eve was born. The evidence for this belief is in Genesis, the first book of the Bible. We can also state that in this worldview, morality is based on God’s commandments, which makes people have a common sense about what is right or wrong, but most importantly, what is true or false, and that determines people’s behavior. God reveals himself to the world through Creation, Nature, and also through His human incarnation: Jesus Christ. As already mentioned, Jesus is the most significant proof of God’s love, given the fact that He sent His only son to die for us in the cross and release us from all our sins (John 3:16). God gave us new and eternal life, making his followers believe that there is life after death. He is also the way, the truth and the life, which makes us understand even more a Biblical worldview, provided that its prior basis is His word, His purpose to the world we live, and also our future lives.

When talking about biblical worldview, I can unequivocally say that it has changed the way I see the world. I believe that looking for proof and evidence is something that every human being seeks for. Each one of us needs to “fill a gap” inside our hearts that in my understanding, can only be fulfilled by God. Moreover, for me, it is crucial to acquire a biblical worldview in order to feel completely loved and live according to the real truth, given by Jesus; Which is not momentary and will never give anyone the feeling of guilt or sadness, contrariwise, it gives people a meaning in life, whether we see it or not.

It can be seen from the above analysis that once you choose to live according to what is written in Scripture, the way you behave may change. When developing a relationship with God, your biggest goal must be to search for His purpose in our lives, and most importantly, do all things for His glory. That is why prayer is essential when we need to choose a career, so that we can align it with what God has prepared for our future. Similarly, when we are in a relationship, it is essential to show our devoted faith by behaving in the right manner, letting go our human desires and understanding that there is a perfect time for all things, that God has the highest understanding, and that we can trust in Him with all our hearts.
