The only way to have a Christian worldview is to abide in Christ so that we see with His eyes, hear with His ears, and understand with His heart. As we are told in Ephesians 4:15: “but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ.” This is the daily resolve of a true disciple—to learn of their Master, becoming like Him and doing the works He did.
When we are born again, we begin the journey to become the “new creation” we...

A biblical worldview begins with knowing God, and God is love. Our highest purpose as human beings is to love God above all else, which is the easiest thing for us to do because we were made for this. Since God is love, we cannot see Him or learn anything about Him without loving Him more. This must be our chief pursuit and the most basic paradigm through which we see the world. It is also the path to the most wonderful, fulfilling life possible.
Next we are called to love one another. That is...

The foundation of a biblical worldview is the first four words in The Bible—“In the beginning God….” That God is, and made all that is, is our foundational understanding. From this, all other truth springs.
The first implication of this is that the world is the Lord’s, and we are His. He created us for a purpose, and to find and fulfill that purpose is the only path to a truly successful human life. As Jesus said in Matthew 22:37-40:
“And He said to him, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH...

As we covered, the body of Christ cannot have the mind of Christ, or fully represent Christ, until it comes together with every part taking its rightful place. As long as we are divided, we will fall short knowing Him as He is and representing Him as He is.
The last night that Christ was on the earth as a man, the last night that He would be able to intercede as the Son of Man, He repeatedly prayed for the unity of His people:
that they may all be one; even as...

To have a Christian worldview is to view the world as Christ does. The way we attain this is not by viewing the world, but by seeing Christ and being changed into His image as we behold His glory. Only when we become like Him in nature will we be able to see as He does. For this reason, the chief devotion of every Christian should be to see the Lord as He is, not as we want Him to be, and to keep Him as our first love and first devotion. We see this in II...
