What I really believe is really real, is how I view my world and respond in it. The following are seven current world views (and what the bible says about each). Which applies most to how you view your world?
"The one with the most toys, wins" - materialism - Luke 12:15
"I've got to think of me first!" - individualism - Matthew 16:25
"Do whatever feels good" - hedonism - proverbs 21:17
"Whatever works for you" - pragmatism -proverbs 14: 12
"God doesn't exist or matter" - naturalism/ atheism - Romans 1:20-22
"You are your own god" - humanism - Romans 1:25
"God made me for His purpose"- theism - Colossians 1:16
How we view the world shapes our lives. This involves how meaningful or how we explain our world. To get a proper perspective on how God views the world, and you as a part of it focus on the bible. Proverbs talks about learning truth, getting wisdom, self-control and understanding (prov. 23:23). John talks about being discerning in what you hear (1john 4:1). and Corinthians continues to remind us to use the minds we were given (1 cor. 14:20) Romans talks about knowing God (Rom 12:2). and Luke again states that God will give you everything you need day to day if you make God's view a primary concern ( Luke 12:31).
My world view should be through the eye sight of my God.
... still working on using my perscription lenses daily.
