What Is The Worldview Of Jesus, Restoration And The Christian Worldview

God can be a very controversial subject depending on who you are talking to in this day and time; some people believe, some believe in other Gods and then there are other groups who do not believe in anything beyond this life. God has always had to deal with those who do not believe. God has been persecuted since the beginning of time and has proven over and over that is very much who he says he is. This paper will give you a better understanding of who God is, how humanity is affected by their beliefs, who Jesus is and how he is the way to the heavenly father and creator as well as how restoration will impact our lives as well as the beliefs I hold in God and how everything he created relies on the next in some way to survive.

When you think “Christian Worldview,” what comes to mind? I know I automatically think; God, Jesus, Christians, and Prayer. As I have learned through my Christian Worldview class, I have learned that there is a lot more to it and this paper will provide you with what I have learned. Throughout this assignment, I will explain about God, Humanity, Jesus, restoration, my analysis of the Christian Faith, and my reflection.

This paper will address God, Humanity, Jesus, Restoration, Analysis and Reflection. The debate, research, questions, and conclusions of the existence of God has been happening for thousands of years. Great minds have pondered Him and His Word, the Bible. There have been different opinions and worldviews about God, His Son Jesus Christ and Heaven. Not everyone agrees on any particular view. Humanity has never been the same since the Fall in the Garden of Eden. Some love, some hate. Others are kind, others kill. Jesus was sent to restore mankind’s relationship with God. To be the perfect sacrificial lamb in order for humankind to be saved and spend eternity in Heaven with God. The only way to achieve peace in the

A worldview is the way a person views and interprets the world around them. Life experiences and spiritual influences play a part in forming one’s worldview. A person’s worldview helps them to determine beliefs on creation, humanity, morals and what happens after death. According to Waddell, (2014) “Worldviews are also like lenses found in eyeglasses that serve as the means through which a person sees the world.” (para. 43) In this paper, the main components of the Christian worldview will be discussed, to include God, humanity, Jesus, restoration and analysis of Christian Faith as well as a reflection of my own beliefs.

When you look around and gaze at the beautiful creation before you, do you reflect on how amazing God is? God made the creation, man, and everything surrounding the two. There are many different worldviews. This paper will focus on the Christian worldview. The Christian worldview involves God, humanity, Jesus, and restoration.

Our worldview allows us to see into the world at such an angle that it coincides with our beliefs, therefore affecting how we think and live. Whether one falls under an atheistic, pantheistic, or theistic worldview, they are guided in their life choices depending on the beliefs of their worldview. Throughout this paper, I will summarize the elements of a Christian Worldview such as God, Humanity, Jesus, and Restoration; I will then analyze questions one might have about the Christian Worldview, and finally I will reflect on my worldview.

A worldview is the framework from which we view reality and make sense of life and the world. I base my worldview on the infallible Word of God. I believe the Bible to be entirely true, that it is the foundation of everything I say and do. I believe in a Christian worldview in which my primary reason for existence is to love and serve God. I stand firm on “The Apostles Creed” believing in God the Father, who is maker of the heaven and earth.  I recognize that “in Him all things hold together” (Col. 1:17), for all true knowledge flows from Him. In this paper, I will explain my belief in Jesus Christ and my Christian worldview.

According to the Christian worldview, God exists in a unique form known as the Trinity. This defines God as a singular being with three distinct persons: the Father, Son, and Spirit. Each person has a unique role: the Father is the Sovereign Creator (Psalm 103:19, New American Standard Bible); the Son is the Messiah and the firstborn over all creation (Colossians 1:15, NASB); and the Spirit is an Intercessor and Helper (John 14:26, NASB). All three persons comprise the single figure of God. This concept, while complex, is pivotal to the Christian worldview as one begins to analyze the overarching message of the Gospel.

Christianity is one of the largest religion in the world with over 2 million followers at the beginning of the 21st century. Christianity is a diverse religion, with many variation in belief among denomination. (Johnson & Judy, 2015). As human beings we all have different worldviews, and we all deserve respect among everything no matter our religion and beliefs. In this paper I will be going through the essential components of the Christian worldview that are made up with God, Humanity, Jesus and restoration. I this paper I will point out important facts according to the Christian Religion and my points of view but with giving respect to the other religions and other people’s points to view.

Christianity, on the other hand, maintains that there is one sovereign God who has a human likeness in that He has personality, is relational and reveals Himself to us. He is known as a triune God, three persons in one being. The God of the Christian bible is omniscient, omnipotent and transcendent.

God has many attributes like how He is “unchanging, eternal, all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-present” (Diffey, 2014, para. 1). “God is good, loving, just, jealous, faithful, and holy” you can see these characteristics “through His eternal nature, His omnipotence, and His goodness” and this allows us to understand God a little more and what He is like, (Diffey, 2014, para. 1). God is known as the first person of the Trinity. “Understanding God as a communion of three

‘Mainstream Christianity teaches us that God exists in three forms, or persons: the Father, who created the world, the Son, Jesus who redeemed humankind and the Holy Spirit’. (John Wolffe 2014 p.75). When we look at Christianity this is the central core of belief; the Christian belief revolves around Jesus of Nazareth and the Christ who are both fully divine figures. To be a Christian is to believe in one God and recognize Jesus as the Son of God, ‘Jesus, the sinless Son of God, is the essential means of reconciliation between God and humankind’ (John Wolffe, 2014 p. 74).

The Christian understanding of God differs from other world religions' conceptions mainly because of their belief in the doctrine of the Trinity. Christians believe that God is the Father, the Son, and The Holy Spirit although "the doctrine of the Trinity is not explicitly spelled out in the Bible" (Created for Community pg. 16), the doctrine is the result of the experiences of the early Christians proving that the one God, the creator was the Father, Jesus was the Lord but he was not the Father but the Son, and the godly presence around them was The Holy Spirit. Although there is a trinity, Christians believe there is still one God, "one God [Christians worship] in trinity and trinity and unity neither confusing the persons nor dividing the

A central doctrine to Christian belief would be that of the holy trinity. Though Christian doctrine recognizes the existence of only one true God, the doctrine of the trinity describes this God as being “three in one”, meaning that there are three entities to compose the singular God. God the Father (also referred to as God the Creator) is responsible for the creation of the universe and all its inhabitants, for sovereignty over His creation, and is the God entity with whom Christian believers have a relationship. Perhaps a more apt description of the character of God the Father could be found in Daniel 2:20-21, which reads, “Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever; wisdom and power are his. He changes times and seasons; he sets up kings and deposes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.” (NIV) This is not an outright illustration of the Father’s character, but it does provide a thorough observance of His power and dominion, and touches on His relationship with creation, which is designed to glorify Him. Psalm 130:7, “O Israel, put your hope in the Lord, for with the Lord is unfailing love and with him is full redemption,” (NIV) expands on the loving and affirming character of man’s relationship with God the Father, the attributes that are chiefly definitive in determining the Father’s inclinations. God the Son, or Jesus Christ, is the commanding example of the Father’s affection for man. Though his deity is the literal right hand man of

Unlike other religions the Christian God is very distinct because He is a part of the Trinity. The Trinity is defined as one God in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. According to author Michael Reeves, he explains in his book Delighting in The Trinity how each person plays a huge role in the Godhead and yet all three are one God and not three single persons. The most foundational part of God is not some abstract quality, but the fact that he is the Father. Again, and again, the scriptures equate the terms God and Father. For instance, Isaiah prays, “You are our Father…you, O Lord, are our Father”. The prophet Paul writes of “one God, the Father” (1 Corinthians 1:13). In order to be a Father there must be a son, right? The Bible explains how before time the Father loved His Son “you (the father) loved me (the son) before the creation of the world” (Colossians 1:17). How exactly does the Son and Father have this kind of relationship? The answer to this is the final part of the Trinity which is the Holy Spirit. The way the Father makes known his love is precisely through giving his Spirit to the son. In Romans 5:5, for instance, Paul writes on how God pours His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit. “and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us”. It is, then, through giving him the Spirit that the Father declares his love for the son. Without the Spirit then it could not stir
