MY BIBLICAL WORLD VIEW
In this essay I will talk about the natural world, human identity, human relationships, and
civilization as they relate to the book of Genesis chapter 1-11. In Genesis 1 it tells of the
beginning of the world and how God created the first man Adam. Genesis 2 continues the
story of the beginning of the human race and the first woman Eve. Genesis 3 tells us of
the beginning of sin and how the first people get kicked out of the Garden of Eden.
Genesis 4 tells of the first family and how sin flows in the world when Cain kills Abel.
Genesis 5 tells of Adam’s family history. Genesis 6 tells how the human race becomes
evil and God find one good man Noah. Genesis 7 tells of the flood and Genesis 8 tells of
the end of the flood. Genesis 9 tells us of the new beginnings. Genesis 10 tells of the
nation’s growing and spreading. And in Genesis 11 it tells of how God scattered the
people and confused there languages.
I. First I will talk about the natural world. The Bible tells us in Genesis 1 that in the
beginning God created the world in 6 days. Dr. Ed Hindson tells us that when God
spoke the earth into existence it appeared aged. It was a paradise, perfect in every
way. God created us humans to take care of his creation. We have not done a great
job. Today the tropical paradise of old does not exist, instead we have a polluted
metropolis where we see more of man’s creation than Gods. I love to get out into
the wild and just stop at almost every corner to see God’s work. Pastor Kirk
Gilchrist told me to be joyful and praise God in all his works.
II. Next we will talk about human identity. In my opinion every person is born with a
feeling that there is something bigger out there and they ask themselves what is the
meaning of all of this. When we find God a lot of our questions are answered. We
learn that the Holy Spirit resides inside of us and we are drawn to want to Know
God....
