Christian World View Defined
Q. In several lessons you have referred to a “Christian world view.” I’m don’t understand the concept as you use it. If you have written a lesson that explains the concept, please direct me to it. If there is no lesson that specifically defines, explains, and provides instructions for achieving it, I would greatly appreciate that information.
A. The Barna Group, a leading Christian pollster, conducted the survey to which I referred and defined the Christian worldview like this;
“For the purposes of the survey, a “biblical worldview” was defined as believing that absolute moral truth exists; the Bible is totally accurate in all of the principles it teaches; Satan is considered to be a real being or force, not merely symbolic; a person cannot earn their way into Heaven by trying to be good or do good works; Jesus Christ lived a sinless life on earth; and God is the all-knowing, all-powerful creator of the world who still rules the universe today. In the research, anyone who held all of those beliefs was said to have a biblical worldview.”
Less than 10% of professing Christians meet these qualifications. Personally, I would have added the need to be born again and a belief that the Lord will come again to establish His Kingdom on Earth to the definition, something that would have further reduced the percentage.
