After this week’s lesson and information reviewed, now believe in my Christian worldview more than ever. There is an absolute God, he lacks for nothing, and can give everything we need. He is our creator and the creator of everything from nothing. Which would also tell us that He is all powerful. The Christian world view can be tested and defined by us. Unlike some of the Naturalist beliefs that cannot be proven by the laws of nature. God is predictable and the bible tells us exactly what we can always expect from him. He created us in his own image and created a partner for us to live in one flesh with for all our years.
We are all to be humble and honor and aspect others in life just as He does us. We should show even the weak and poor the utmost respect and dignity that God would show us when we are weak and fail him. Do not feel like nature could have created such complex creatures and not have an explanation for us to prove it. We should always involve God in our everyday decisions and the even more life changing ones as well. We should always ask God for his guidance throughout our life and live as he has commanded us to do. We are made of a sin nature in our flesh and will always fall short of the glory of God.
