BIBL 110 B09 9/18/2014 Biblical Worldview Essay The book of Romans is a story that tells us more about how God wants his people to live in the ages of sin without partaking in actions that are not within the Gospel. The Christian lifestyle is broken into many different aspects in life. These different views consist of the natural world, our identity as disciples of the lord, the relationships that we partake in and even our culture of life. The many things that we can participate in our daily lives is exactly where we need to put our focus in. This is where the reference of Romans comes into play.
The significant connection in all three words is in its meaning, which the Oxford Dictionary has defined thoroughly, “preservation or deliverance from harm, ruin, or loss; deliverance from sin and its consequences.” The essence therefore is to be saved, salvaged, or redeemed. The following Bible verses conjure such a motif. Psalm 118:21 “I will give you thanks, for you answered me; you have become my salvation.” Isaiah 33:2 “O Lord, be gracious to us; we long for you. Be our strength every morning, our salvation in time of distress.” It can be clearly seen that the Bible is emphasizing the definition that surrounds salvation. The Koran on the other hand teaches that only those who believe will be saved.
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work"(NIV, 2010).

This teaching involves what Adams calls “teaching in the milieu” or through real life situations.
In the sacrament of Reconciliation, we resolve to turn away from sin and return to God's grace. Jesus instituted the Sacrament of Penance as a call to us for conversion—a continuing conversion that occurs after Baptism. Jesus became human so that he could offer the perfect sacrifice to God that would atone, or make up, for our sins once and for all. Followers of Jesus are called to continual, heartfelt conversion throughout life. The most important act of the penitent is contrition.
He believes that people need to be taught the word “of God”, conviction can take place so the counselee can repent of his sins, be set free, and change will take place. With the theory that Adams developed God’s word is the only way to receive the truth of God, psychology is an outside source and has nothing to offer when trying to help a person to change based on truth. According to Adams changing people or sinners from the inside out is not done by education alone, but by prayer, reproof, and encouragement (p. 65). Scripture is the way to obtain quick results where true
He also said that he will bless those bless you and he will curse those who curse you and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you. In order for that to happen,Abraham had to leave his country, his people, and his father's household to go to the land God shows him. If Abraham did this god promised Abraham takes the offer and leaves. At this point Abraham is seventy-five years old. When Abraham gets to the new land which God told him to go to the Lord appeared to Abraham and sad I will give this land to you.

Because it’s right today doesn’t mean it will be right tomorrow. Pantheists believe in Karma: what goes around comes around. Theists believe morality is based on the character of God. Scripture verifies this truth in Ephesians 2:8-10 and Psalm 51:5. 5.
CHRISTIAN WORLDVIEW Introduction Every individual has a worldview whether they realize it or not. A person’s worldview can be Christian, secular, or a combination of both. To fully understand Christian Worldview it is important to understand what worldview means in general and to also have an idea of what secular worldview means (Christianworldview.net).

I. SERMON ON THE MOUNT: CORE VALUES OF THE KINGDOM A. The Sermon on the Mount is the constitution of God’s kingdom.
