Reflection Paper:
Relevance of our study of God in today’s
life situations.
I honestly am
confused as to what should I focus on in this paper. But as I ponder, I realized
that getting familiar with different Worldviews
is truly significant, that it is actually part of all the decision making I do
each day. It shapes the way I see things and how I react on the daily scenarios
I face. At first, I was so overly defensive and close-minded with what people
do and say but when I learned that we all have a framework of ideas and
attitudes that we follow thus, influences our choices and behavior. Our chosen
worldview becomes our concept of reality then there’s where the differences
takes place. As a person who believes in a Theistic
Worldview, I am standing in the absolute authority of God, His Word and His
leading. Plus, it sums up the entirety of our Christian faith, especially in
questions of “who God is” that connects to “who we are”. Still, being in this
point of view helped me understand the “hugots” of others as well. Therefore, I
came to respect them now, but with the desire to somehow help them recognize
the perspective I have as well, since what I believe is an absolute Truth, and
beyond doubt comes from both reason and faith in Jesus. Which is for sure, a
good fundamental consideration whenever I will try to defend my faith. Well, bearing
in mind the way I write this paper, already shows a great impact to me of the
worldview I am in. 😂
It all manifests in the way I speak, I dress, I respond
or react and the way I converse with people or with the relationship I have
with my family and friends. All these mirror the actions we do in accordance to
what we are convinced to as a coherent view. There may be some variations and
uniqueness with regards to our autonomous relativity and non-essential
objectivity, yet it is somehow anchored to the worldview we are in. Furthermore,
the learning of this should humble us rather than make us arrogant of what we
know. For God is the one who allowed us to figure out more of this kind of
things. This must be a stepping stone as well for us to spread the Good News to
nonbelievers since a worldview is also a driving force of their ideals. And so
this is beneficial by developing a good quality of relationship rather than
creating more inevitable conflicts. I still have a lot to discover and
experience for me to grasp this topic. But in conclusion, I realized that the
study of this will greatly affect our way of thinking and doing, in major
aspects of our lives. At the end of the day, this should lead me to know God
further and be more and more like Him as I mature in faith.
