Benchmark—Gospel Essentials Josephine Smith Grand Canyon University CWV-101: Christian Worldview Professor McClurg November 14, 2023

A person's daily views and perspective on the world are referred to as their worldview. There are several varieties of worldviews and inquiries associated with each one. On the other hand, adopting a Christian worldview is defined as viewing the world and everything in it through God's perception. We shall attempt to address every query about the Christian worldview in this essay. The nature of God, the nature of mankind, the fundamental nature of Christ, and the essentials of the restoration are the core ideas of the Christian worldview and the subject matter of this essay by examining. We will then be able to examine and comprehend the repercussions of the Christian Worldview in more detail after we see how these themes are interconnected with it. Nature of God It might be difficult to consider and even attempt to provide a solution to the topic of God's nature Christians hold that everything, including the cosmos, was created by God. Genesis 1 presents God as the creator, saying that everything, including the earth and the sky, was made in six days. Although God is the creator and supreme controller of all things, there is much more to God than meets the tongue. He is far more important than we could have ever imagined. Christians also hold that although there is only one real God, He lives in three people known as the Trinity. According to Christian teaching known as the Trinity, God is three individuals who are united: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. in a single material or entity "(Trinity, 2018). One of the foundational ideas that aids in our understanding of God's character is the Trinity. Similarly, the attributes that make God flawless aid in our understanding of him. Numerous scriptures in the Bible indicate that God. Most Christians hold that because they were made in

God's likeness, they were intended to serve him and exalt his name in all they did. For Christians, that is the meaning of the human purpose. God made all other living things, including plants, animals, and humans, but he held humans in particular. The reason for this is that, out of all of God's creations, God decided to give life to humans. As was previously said, God made humans in order for them to exalt him in all that they accomplish on Earth. Worship is the simplest approach to honor God's name. Nature of Restoration The broad psychological features, emotions, and behavioral patterns that are thought to be shared by all people are referred to as human nature. As humans, we frequently find ourselves attempting to unravel the secrets of our nature and purpose. Why is the world we live in imperfect? Since the beginning of time, mankind has been trying to find answers to these problems. The purpose of humanity is one of the most important concerns we confront in modern times. Numerous individuals have discovered their true selves in Christ Jesus, the human race's savior. There are, nevertheless, some people who do not think highly of him. Currently, there is no known reason for its existence. If it has, it varies depending on the individual. For many individuals. But for many individuals, the ultimate goal of humanity is to improve the planet as much as possible. This applies to both non-Christians and Christians. Nature of Jesus Jesus is both the Son of God and the Messiah according to the Christian worldview. Jesus was entirely God and totally man at the same time that He was sent to earth. John 1:14 describes this teaching, known as incarnation, as "the Word turned flesh and made his dwelling among us." We have beheld his majesty, the glory of the only Son, full of grace and truth, who descended

from the Father." The "embodying of the LORD in human form" was how people perceived Jesus (Incarnation, 2018). His purpose for coming to earth was to proclaim the positive news of eternal life, which is attested to by his death and resurrection. Jesus gave His life in order to save humanity have been aware of what He was discussing. The good news of Christ and His unchanging love for us would not have come to humanity without His earthly labors, which is why His work is central to the Christian worldview. Restoration The Christian perspective holds that redemption via faith in Christ, our Lord and Savior, is the answer to every problem confronting humanity. As a result, salvation also requires trust in Jesus Christ, and redemption and restoration through Christ are not possible without from faith. Jesus keeps working in people's life after they are freed from sin, "healing the scars of sin and sorrow and creating them new" (Grand Canyon, 2021). We are freed from our sin and can live our lives fully for Jesus because of His generosity, forgiveness, and love. But we won't really be freed until we are reconciled to Him and have trust in Him. Jesus claims to be the Way, the Righteousness, and the Life in John 14:6. The only way for anybody to communicate with the Father is via Jesus. That line from the Bible is an excellent illustration of salvation by faith. Romans 12:2 NIV says that in addition to change, we also experience a resettlement of our thinking. Developing our new selves begins with acknowledging our wrongdoing and making our sacrifices in response. After admitting our sins and sincerely pleading with God to transform us, we humbly ask Him to become the focus of our lives. After that, we continue to live our lives for and in Him. Through Christ, we not only experience personal development, but the world is also affected by our Christian perspective. Therefore, from a Christian worldview, it is the process of restoration.

Christian Foundations The characteristics of God, the nature of humanity, the character of Jesus, and the mechanism of restoration form the foundation of the Christian worldview. First, God's essence clarifies how God came to be the creator of everything. Everything is ruled by God, and He is flawless in this capacity. A key tenet of the Christian worldview is the doctrine of the Trinity, which maintains that there is only one real, perfect God who exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The doctrine of the Trinity is essential to the understanding of Christianity. Furthermore, the Christian worldview allows one to see the world as God would since God's flawless traits reveal his perfect nature. Humanity was made in God's flawless likeness, reflecting His perfection. Humanity's ultimate goal is to live for Christ and spread the gospel. However, Christians were unable to achieve the Glory because sin entered the world. The Christian worldview, which is distinct from all other worldviews held today, maintains that all of this is discovered by believing in God and that Christ died in order to atone for our sins. People benefit from the Christian worldview because it makes them want to be better people. God provides his people with guidelines for behavior through the Bible, which enables Christians to live better lives in the modern world. There is no clear solution to their queries about whether the bible is genuine or how God can be three persons in one, which is why a number of individuals do find Christianity bewildering. There is no concrete proof of God's existence since Christians place their confidence in him.

Conclusion The characteristics of God, mankind, Jesus, and restoration have all been covered in this essay. We also studied the relationship between those four subjects and the Christian worldview, as well as an examination of their consequences. Ultimately, the characteristics of God, people, Jesus, and restoration help Christians comprehend why they hold a Christian worldview and why their entire lives are devoted to exalting God. Christianity shapes people's worldviews, and we wish to improve the world by acting as if God would, for the benefit of all people, not just ourselves.
