Bible Worldview Essay
The book of Romans is the greatest amazing book ever created in the Bible. It is the most
appreciated portions of the Bible. This part of the Bible discusses the natural world, human
identity, human relationships, and cultures. The book of Romans shows believers information
about an imperative fact by starting out with the point that Jesus has a design for all people and
animals. It is indicated that Jesus in a particular style has a purpose of getting us to comprehend
Christian life. In the book of Roman, Paul speaks of Roman Christianity because they are the
same and the people now days. The information that Paul tells individuals in the book of Romans
1-8 should be natural to Christians. I am sure that people will look at me and think that I am
crazy when I say that, but I know it is easier said than done.
The Natural World
In Romans, Paul discusses information about the natural world many times. This book
helps people understand that when the end of time comes God will undo all the destruction that
had been done over time. Paul reveals that at the end of time God will remedy the Earth. The
Bible verse that calls out to me the most is Romans 1:20, “There are things about God that
people cannot see—his eternal power and all that makes him God. But since the beginning of the
world, those things have been easy for people to understand. They are made clear in what God
has made. So people have no excuse for the evil they do”. In Romans 8:35-39 there is more
information about the natural world. These verses ask some great questions. “Can anything
separate us from Christ’s Love”? To answer this question, I believe that if you are not a strong,
active person that believes in Christ that the Devil can separate you from Christ. “As the
Scriptures say, For you we are in danger of death all the time. People think we are worth no
more than sheep to be killed” (Romans 8:36).
Human Identity
Throughout the whole passage, Paul informs us about human identity. Romans 3:10
states, “There is no one doing what is right, not even one.” That makes us human. There is not
one perfect being but Jesus. We all are sinful people. Paul focuses on explanation and
redemption. “They are made right with God by his grace. This is a free gift. They are made right
with God by being made free from sin through Jesus Christ” (Romans 3:24). Paul tells us that
we as followers and we need to tell the world and let everybody know about the Gospel.It is a
Christian's job to help nonbelievers understand and be able to believe! We need to let the people
know that we are longer are sentenced before God. This is explained in Romans 8:1-2, “God
promised long ago through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures to give this Good News to his
people”.
Human Relationships

Paul is just like everybody has places he would like to go. Paul wants to go different
places and speak to the people. Paul discusses that he wants a relationship with the other people
in Romans 1:12, “I mean that I want us to help each other with the faith that we have. Your faith
will help me, and my faith will help you”. These people were important to Paul. I believe this is
great because he wanted to spread the word of God. By Paul having this relationship with the
people, he is trying to save them and help them change their life. Paul also stresses the point of
relationship marriage settings. Romans 7:3 discuss the importance of adultery, “But if she
marries another man while her husband is still alive, the law says she is guilty of adultery. But if
her husband dies, she is made free from the law of marriage. So if she marries another man after
her husband dies, she is not guilty of adultery”.
Culture
There is a multi-cultural aspect in the book of Romans. Paul tells the people, “Through
Christ, God gave me the special work of an apostle—to lead people of all nations to believe and
obey him. I do all this to honor Christ” (Romans 1:5). Paul continues to work with all different
cultures and people. In chapter 1 verse 14 he states Paul says that he "must serve all
people"(Romans 1:14). Paul then goes on to say that the people who share in a different culture
and people who are less civilized, are ignorant. Paul expresses the importance in Romans 1:16-
17. It says he is the happy to have the Good News. Paul tells the people that it is the power God
uses. HE explains to the people God saves everybody who believes in him. He does not care
what culture people are, what we look like or our shape. He cares about what you hold inside
your heart. To help explain it a little more, I believe that Good News is the Bible. People just
need to Faith. If they have Faith everything will work together, and work out. As the Scriptures
say, “The one who is right with God by faith will live forever.” Paul was trying to work with
everybody on learning about God. He does not care if you were red, white, yellow, or blue. He
knew God would love his people no matter what culture they are, after all he is the one that
created all people.
Conclusion
The book of Romans seems to be an important book of the Bible. Every Christian could
relate to some part of Romans; I know I do I am in two different cultures, and I am speaking and
teaching both cultures about the word of God. My primary point is that coming from another
culture is not reason not to learn about our God. My husband came from another culture, and I
was able to convert him to become a Christian. God is amazing, and he gave his only son for us.
I formed a relationship with God, and I know everybody else can to if they just tried. Christ is
the first major theme because if we do not believe in her there is no Christianity. Christianity is a
life that is alive in the person. People must understand and learn about Christ.
