Understanding A Christian Worldview

 A worldview is your philosophy of life and the world.  It is composed of the foundational beliefs you hold, that shape how you see everything else.  We will take a brief look at the basics of a Christian worldview.  

Metaphysics

-What is ultimate reality?

-(Genesis 1:1)"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." (ESV)

-Here we see the Creator/creature distinction.  God is the Creator and everything else is creation.  God is God and you are not.  

Epistemology

-How do you know what you know?

-(Proverbs 1:7)"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction." (ESV) 

-True knowledge depends on God who knows all things and controls all things.  We must think God's thoughts after him.  

Ethics

-How should we live?

-(Exodus 20:1-17) The Ten Commandments

-(Matthew 5-7) The Sermon On The Mount

-Ethics and morality are rooted in the law and character of God.
