PART I
Everyone has a worldview. A worldview is how an individual sees the world through their
experiences, and what they believe and why. According to the Webster's Dictionary, their
definition of worldview is "...a comprehensive conception or apprehension of the world
especially from a specific standpoint."(Worldview, n.d.) In other words, this is how one choses to
live their life.

Part II
The whole universe and everything in it was created by God. This is told to us through the
first chapters of the Bible (Genesis 1:1-27). Non-Christians and/or scientists believe that the
world came about through evolution. Although they do all they can to prove this, they are
effortlessly ceased through the reading of our scriptures. "Nowhere in the Bible does God
entertain or relax His position on another religion. The Bible consistently teaches that there is
one God and that His plan of salvation is through Jesus Christ alone."(Johnson, 2008) The Bible
says the we know that God created the world because all that we have was made from nothing
we can see (Hebrews 11:3). In other words, scientists like to say that evolution happened, but
where it all this come from? The only explanation we have is God created it.
God created us in his image, so that we could grow and tend to His world. He created us to
take care of every living and non-living thing (Genesis 1:26). He gave us life to live on as he
intended the world to be. Some people say that we are equal to animals, but if that were true,

animals would have a bigger place in the world. They would be able to communicate the same
way we do, with us. God created us in His image to be the leaders over everything else (Genesis
1:27).
Our purpose in this world is to teach others about God, and how to live the way God intended
us to be, when he created us (Matthew 28:19). God has a plan for us and that is all we need to
know. He chose us, he created us, and gave us a world to live, and a book of rules we should
abide by (Ephesians 1:11). It is up to us to learn and teach everyone who wants to know. This
was His plan for us.
To help us live our wonderful life in this world, there had to be some rules. Through the Bible
we learn of the things God intended us to abide by. The Bible tells us spot on what is right and
what is wrong (Exodus 20:1-17). God gave us these rules so that we could live in peace with one
another. We also have the Ten Commandments to show us what is right and morally wrong
(Leviticus 22:31).
We were put here in this world to live for God. He created the world and all there is in it for
us to live how He intended us to be. Our reward for doing just this is that we can join Him in His
heaven for all of eternity (Romans 6:23). By living our life with a Christian worldview and how
God intended, we will have our place next to Him, and not perish (John 3:16). Having faith in
God and living the way He wanted us too is all we need to do, as the Bible says good works is
not what gets one their place next to God. (Ephesians 2:8-9).

The ten commandments give us the rules to live by. We are to treat others how we want to be
treated (Luke 6:1). We need to teach our children to live by these rules also, so that they can pass
them along to their children. Teaching others and helping them is the way it is supposed to be,
rather than causing pain or drama (Galatians 5:13).
Attending Liberty University is a great way to further one's studies to be able to choose a
career. "...the integration of faith and learning is considered very much the heart of the mission of
Christian higher education"(Esqueda, 2014) Having a biblical worldview, truly helps one live the
life God intended us to have. He already has a plan and a purpose for us (Proverbs 19:21). It is
just up to us to do it the right way. God will show us the way, especially if we have faith in Him
to do so (Psalm 32:8).
