A worldview is a lens through which one sees and understands life. A Christian worldview encompasses everything one believes about God, the metaphysical uniqueness of creation, the uniqueness of a revelational epistemology, the uniqueness of the image of God, and the unique complexity of man as the treasure of creation.
Through a Christian worldview God is seen as Creator, Savior, and Sustainer of the world as a triune God composed of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God, the Father, is Creator of the universe including, the heavens, the earth, heavenly beings, and earthly beings (Genesis 1-2). God, the Son, is Savior of the fallen world (Philippians 3:20-21; 1 Timothy 4:10; 2 Timothy 1:10; Titus 1:4; Titus 2:13; 2 Peter 1:11). He is Savior of the world through His incarnation into humanity, sinless life, sacrificial death on the cross, and redeeming resurrection from the dead (Luke 1; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Philippians 2:8; Romans 8:3 2 Corinthians 15:3-8). God also sustains the world through the third Person of the Trinity, His Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:2; Psalm 54:4; Psalm 3:5; Psalm 37:17). The metaphysical aspect of a Christian worldview holds an ex nihilo view of creation-creation from nothing (Genesis 1:1-2). The epistemological aspect of a Christian worldview reveals that because of the stark contrast between the nature of the holy Creator, Sustainer, and Savior of the world and the nature of fallen man, God must specifically and purposefully reveal Himself to mankind in order to make available accurate knowledge about Himself (1 Corinthians 1:21, 2:14; 2 Corinthians 4:3-4; John 1:18). Accurate knowledge of God is impossible for man to discern by his own efforts because of his sinfulness (Romans 1:18-25; 2 Corinthians 2:14). However, in spite of man’s sinfulness, a Christian worldview also holds a biblical ethic that man is made in and contains the image of God (Genesis 1:26). This image of God elevates mankind to a higher value and an identity more like Himself than the rest of creation and a relationship with Him elevates men to a higher position than those who do not have such a relationship because they are set apart for His glory (Genesis 2:7; Deuteronomy 26:18-19). Finally, a Christian worldview is concerned with a biblical anthropology or view of man. Man is understood to be a complex paradox. One the one hand, man is the crowning jewel in God’s creation (Genesis 1:26-31). On the other hand, man is a most fallen and depraved part of creation (Genesis 6:5; Ephesians 2:1-3; Romans 3:23). Finally, it must be noted that a Christian worldview is not built merely upon experience, reason, or the establishment of tradition, but only upon and in conformity with the word of God. Any beliefs presented as part of a Christian worldview that are not consistent with the truth of Scripture are not trustworthy (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Neither Scripture, nor the declaration of a Christian worldview are the result of man’s interpretation, but, instead, are approved and confirmed by God Himself (2 Peter 1:20).
