My worldview (and final C&H

(the image above is from the last comic strip of calvin and hobbes)

First, I would like to thank Mr. Hinz for his work this year for this bible class. It’s not easy taking on a new class, especially the infamous senior bible class, and I thank you for the time you put in to the material and trying to teach us how to formulate our own worldview being surrounded by so many others as we head off to college.

1. What is really real?
2. 1. First, I believe in the Bible and that everything in it comes from God. God is real. Everything came into existence because of him. He is eternal. No one created him, he has simply always been there.
3. What is the nature of the world around you?
4. 1. God created the world. When man disobeyed God, the nature of the world fell into the hands of the devil, making the earth and humans his temporary home. The world around me is sinful and fallen.
5. What does it mean to be human?
6. 1. To be human means that you were created in the image of God. Our purpose is to glorify our creator in everything that we do, follow him, and have a relationship with him.
7. What happens after death?
8. 1. Because we all have sinned, we all deserve eternal death in hell with the devil. But for those who believe in Jesus’ saving work on the cross, repent, and follow him, they will be saved and live in heaven after they die with God for eternity.
9. How is it possible to know anything at all?
10. 1. God is the giver of knowledge and wisdom. We cannot fully understand God. Anything that we know or are capable of knowing comes from God.
11. Is there a right or a wrong?
12. 1. God is the provider of our morals, rather he is our morals. He is love, he is just, he is compassionate, he is our Father. God is good. Everything outside of his goodness is therefore wrong or evil.
13. What is the meaning of human history?
14. 1. Human history is recorded in the bible to teach christians, to explain the origin of man, the earth, and all our traditions and customs. It is there to show us our mistakes, to show to treat others, and to demonstrate God’s character and reveal to us his nature.
15. What personal or core commitments does this come with (how does it affect our everyday lives)?
16. 1. For me, being a christian means having a personal relationship with God and sharing his love to others. I’d be lying if I said I did that on the daily, But God in his grace knows that I have messed up and that I will continue to mess up. Yet he is constant and is constantly pursuing me. Thus i will keep trying to pursue and better my relationship with him.
