26 Resources on Christian Worldview

YOU HAVE A WORLDVIEW

Every person has a worldview. Not every person has a Christian worldview. A Christian worldview provides the most coherent and meaningful understanding of reality. It addresses questions like: who made me? Why am I here? And where am I going? A Christian worldview gives clarity on other issues like truth, human dignity, and moral values. But a Christian worldview does not only provide an intellectual basis for the meaning of life -- it transforms lives through grace and truth, and leads people to flourish. A Christian worldview starts with God, the creator, who redeems through His Son, Jesus Christ, who in turn, sends His Holy Spirit to indwell all who call upon Christ for forgiveness of sins and eternal life. All are welcome to repent and turn to Christ -- in exchange, God reshapes a person to think, feel, desire, and act in accordance with His plan and purposes, leading to long-lasting satisfaction, joy, and communion with God.
