What is a Worldview?

Part One:

A worldview is how each individual person views the world in a way that is most comfortable for them. It is our decision-making process that results from what we feel in our heart.

Man is not perfect; God is aware of our sins, but He loves us and is understanding. It is stated in Proverbs 12:22 that He is shamed when we lie, but He rejoices when we are faithful. Furthermore, it is mentioned in 2 Corinthians 8:21 that we please Him when we try to be honorable in the eyes of man and Him.

5) The Question of Destiny

I believe salvation is offered to us in heaven. He states in 2 Corinthians 5:1...
