Worldview Bible Reading Part III

In order to conclude our look at Worldview Bible Reading let’s examine the three remaining worldview elements:

3. Knowledge: Can I know anything? How do I know what I know? What do I know? Is truth relative or must truth be the same for all rational beings? Can we know God?

4. Ethics: Why is an action right or wrong? Do objective moral values exist? How should we live?

5. Humanity: What does it mean to be human? Do humans make free choices or are they determined? Does physical death end human existence? Are human beings totally depraved or are they inherently good? Do human beings have any value?

I want to point out that this list of questions is not an exhaustive one. I wanted to provide you with some basic questions to ask of the text in order to help build a Biblical worldview. It is one thing to say that you have a biblical worldview but yet another thing to know why. This way of reading the Scriptures will help you see the world through a biblical pair of eyeglasses.

In summary, when studying or reading the Word of God ask what this passage says about…
· God?
· Reality?
· Knowledge?
· Ethics?
· Humanity?

As we pursue to build a Biblical Worldview may we be ever so diligent to “sanctify Christ as Lord in our hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence.” (NASB- Update).
