A basic biblical worldview established in Scripture includes:

1)   God created the world and mankind for a special relationship with Him.

2)   Man became separated from God by sin.

3)   God so loved mankind and the world that He made provision for our redemption and reconciliation through the atonement sacrifice of His Son on the cross.

4)   He delayed the restoration of the world so that He could call out of this present evil age those whose lives proved they love Him more than evil.

5)   Those who overcome the evil of this age by accepting His atonement, abiding...

          When we embrace the cross, we do so because of the conviction of our sin and the revelation that the cross is the only remedy. Only through the atonement of the cross can we be reconciled to God.

         Those who say that Christianity is an arrogant religion because it claims that Jesus is the only way to be reconciled to God are, in fact, the arrogant ones. What could be greater pride than to have the Son of God come and make atonement for us, suffering as He did for our...

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.
