Benchmark Assignment: Gospel Essentials
When you think “Christian Worldview,” what comes to mind? I know I automatically think; God, Jesus, Christians, and Prayer. As I have learned through my Christian Worldview class, I have learned that there is a lot more to it and this paper will provide you with what I have learned. Throughout this assignment, I will explain about God, Humanity, Jesus, restoration, my analysis of the Christian Faith, and my reflection.
God
Who is God? God is the creator of all according to the Christian worldview. As Christians we believe that God is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. (Diffey, 2015, Ch. 3) We trust that God be existent in three persons. After reading the Genesis chapters, I understood that God …show more content…

The thing that could be confusing or troublesome is not actually seeing God as a person, as a physically human being. We are supposed to believe that God is there for us, but we never see him. This may be confusing to some. Also we are never told about Jesus’s childhood. He is just there, born to an unmarried mother and father from a rather backwater town in Palestine and an embarrassment to his family. (Diffey, 2015, Ch. 5) Yet we are supposed to be married before children and so on. I can see where this would be confusing to some Christians. You teach and preach it one way, but Jesus’s life was not that way? Also according to the textbook, when did Satan exactly become evil? (Diffey, 2015, Ch. 4) Christianity could influence one’s thinking and behavior because if they live a Godly life, they will be more forgiving, faithful, and loving. When I think of “Church People” or Christian’s, I think friendly and always there for you. As you become a Christian you put yourself out there for people, you become more personable
