Reflection on God’s Works
What is our reflection on God’s works? We are to be a reflection of God and his words
through his work. Everything we do should be through our almighty God, as he gave us our life
to live on his creation called Earth. Everything we do has a meaning and a purpose in this world.
We are strengthened through our faith in God. On the condition that God is the creator of the
world, however, evil occurs, the question arises whether, and, if so, how, the statements about
God’s perfect goodness, his omnipotence, and the existence of evil in the world created by him
can be true at the same time (Danz, C. (2022).
The theological reflection typically focuses more on God’s working in the world we live
in and on our relationship with God through his creations. The psychological reflection typically
focuses more on the workings of God’s world it also can be stressful on the world through
human behavior. Even though they both might have some similar take, they are very different as
well. Philosophical believe within reasons to why we are here, what our purpose is, and where
we will be going are on through our creator God. Psychologists help us understand the
mechanisms through which much of human behavior is mediated (Entwistle, 2021). All truth is
God’s truth, just remember that!
What implications does this have for the relationship between psychology and
Christianity? Although psychology and Christianity are very different from one another, they
still both can help. As it can be complicated but it is within the nature of truth and reality. It can
help with human behavior as God is concerned with human conduct. As a psychologist we
incorporate one’s worldview into data to help us better understand a situation. Same as God, he
wants us to reflect on his works and word to help us succeed in life by making better decisions.

(Entwistle, 2021). Christianity and psychology have a very effective working connection and
should not be separated. They strengthen when put together and can help during a human
behavior or any situation. There are Christian psychologists out there that can help, the Bible is
also very good when someone might be struggling by just reading certain Bible verses.
The Bible teaches us God’s words and works. There are so many scriptures that we can
study and learn from. “And he answered,;“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart
and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and;your neighbor as
yourself.” – Luke 10:27 (ESV). We should love our God with all our of heart, as he is our creator
and gave us life. God’s will, works, word, and teachings are good, we should live by them every
day. There might be evil out in this world, but that does not mean we have to follow by that
example, we should follow our God’s work!
