Developing a Biblical worldview equips you to combat persuasive arguments that can lead Christians astray. There are several practical steps we can take to shape our worldview around God’s truth.
Paul warned the early Christians about persuasive but deceptive arguments that could deceive them.
Key Points:
- Confident hope in Jesus is foundational. When Christ lives in us, we have the assurance and help we need, not just hope. Our hope comes from the Lord who created everything.
- Unselfish love towards others helps outsiders become insiders in the church. Like welcoming a new tennis club member, we should communicate that we are for people, not against them.
- Wise discernment comes through asking questions like: What biblical principles apply? Will my future self thank me for this decision? Is this wise? We use the Bible and the Holy Spirit’s guidance.
Developing a Biblical worldview through confident hope, unselfish love, and wise discernment will shape how we represent Jesus to the world. If people saw our lives, would they see Jesus?
