Foundation of a Bible Based Christ-Free-Samples for Students

Question: Discuss about the Foundation of a bible based Christ centered worldview. Answer: Describe: Different perceptions on the existence of God by people. According to Bible, Jesus acts as a God for Christian individuals. Analyze: George Buttrick asks his students about what kind of God they believe in. People have different images of God in their minds such as some of them think of God as a cosmic cop whose major goal is to keep a track of people who are doing wrong and punish them. If they do not follow his rules he is always ready to show anger and slap them. But the God of Bible is totally different from this and he is patients enough and acts as a nurturing mother who is always ready to provide love and care to his children. He acts as friend and does not punish us for all the mistakes we make. Some people portray god as a Santa Claus who keeps smiling as a grandfather and provides us each and everything we want. He is always ready to provide love and care by patting on our heads. Some people also portray God as tyrannical ruler and it is very difficult for him to please. He does not serve people but wants human beings to serve him in a proper manner (White, 1998). But the God of Christianity is totally different from him. According to Bible, when we want to have a relationship with God, he or she is treated as his family member. He acts as a father who helps his children in every possible manner and does not treat us as a slave. He provides special care and affection to them. So, everyone must not get scared of God and act as slaves but should act as his children and respect him as a Father. Some people portray God as big and a powerful man. But he is not a human being according to Bible but a spirit who is omnipresent, not visible by anyone and immortal. He is not made of skin and does not contain blood in himself. The God of Bible is perfect and does not lack anything. He can be trusted by human beings in every possible manner. There are a few people who portray God as a strong force and believe that he is present in everything. But according to Bible, God is not present everywhere and he is only a spirit and has invented human beings and the earth. The real god is Jesus in and he plays a significant role in Christian religion. Personal Reflection: I think that I have gained knowledge about the existence of God according to the Bible, which is the holy book in Christianity. Before, I had a perception that God is present everywhere but know I have developed an understanding that he is a spirit and we should not be scared of him. He acts as a Father, a mother and loves us as his own children. He is immortal and invisible. I am deciding to follow the principles of Bible and Jesus. Reference White, J.E. (1998).
