God is both forgiving and loving, faithfully keeping His promises. He is responsible for the creation of all things that are wonderful and astonishing. In terms of corporations, the initial lecture mentioned that God has decreed that creation should mirror His greatness and goodness (Alley, 2013). Henceforth, it would be inconceivable to see anything other than goodness in God or His character because He crafted the splendor and magnificence of the world—from mountains to oceans. The account of creation appears early on in the Bible.
According to the bible, God created the heavens, the earth, and a remarkable human being – an image of Himself. The scripture in Genesis 27 declares, “So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them” (NIB). With freewill given by God, individuals have the power to make personal decisions such as loving or rejecting Him. It is this very choice that ultimately determines our eternal destiny.
According to the Christian perspective, when we die, our physical bodies stop working and our souls go up to heaven for divine assessment. Those who reject God will suffer eternal damnation in hell, while those who accept Jesus will experience eternal joy in heaven. The Bible confirms that God created the universe and the earth from emptiness and darkness at the beginning.
Genesis 1:1-4 (KJV) states that the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters, and then God spoke, commanding light to exist. This resulted in light being created and separated from darkness. From this, we can confidently conclude that the universe has always been good since its beginning. Furthermore, the universe is characterized by its consistency and relative permanence. It can be examined and relied upon by those who prefer concrete reasoning. Additionally, it follows both natural and physical laws that have been repeatedly tested and proven.
Jesus was an exceptional teacher and the Bible is an extraordinary textbook, serving as a source of guidance for answering questions about the Christian faith, including determining truth. Although not the sole resource, history and science also align with the stories in the Bible. Personally, I opt to have faith and embrace the divine power of God’s word.
God encourages believers to test Him in different situations, such as bringing the entire tithe into the storehouse and experiencing His promise of abundant blessings. This action allows individuals to verify the truth of His word and strengthen their faith, particularly when doubts arise. Thus, Christianity provides a system of governing laws that enable followers to put their faith to the test.
In the Old Testament, there were many laws that governed people’s lives. However, these laws became outdated when Jesus came and sacrificed himself for our sins. While he was on earth, Jesus taught us how to live and distinguish between right and wrong. He gave us the Ten Commandments, shared the beatitudes, and explained the virtues of the spirit. The Christian moral principles originate from truths revealed by God through Jesus, prophets, and Apostles. (Russian) Every person has a purpose that Jesus knows even before we start growing in our mothers’ wombs.
God has a plan for each of us, and it is our choice to pray, seek God’s will, and find our purpose in life. Additionally, God has provided us with simple daily directions such as being kind to one another, helping the poor, and spreading the gospel. As Christians, we have important work to do on earth and a main goal of growing in love for God and nurturing our relationship with Him to gain knowledge.
However, we should strive to grow in the grace, knowledge, and relationship with our Lord. Let us not forget our Savior Jesus Christ.
To him be glory both now and forever Amen. (2 Peter 3:18, NIV)
Among the numerous Bible verses that resonate with my core beliefs and align with my worldview, one verse holds great significance. It is “thy will be done” from the Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:10, KJV). The entire section of the Beatitudes carries profound meaning as it teaches love and kindness towards every individual, serving as a moral code to live by. Matthew 7:1 encapsulates my utmost commitment, stating “Judge not, that ye be not judged.” By embracing this verse alone, I have experienced a greater sense of fulfillment in life.
