We are looking at different details at what a true biblical worldview would look like. We are not looking at the minimalist biblical worldview, but full detail of what it looks like to see life through the lens of Scripture. We looked at Scripture last time and moving straight from that is a biblical worldview of God.
Obviously, at the heart and center of a biblical worldview is our understanding of God Himself. Many theologians, and others that read the Bible, note that the Bible begins by God not explaining Himself or trying to convince people that He exists, but simply, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” No explanation, and no long list of apologetics to prove God exists. He simply says, “I exist.” “In the beginning God,” lots of sermons have probably been preached on that one phrase alone. God did what? He created everything. The heavens, the earth, and the whole works. Many have pointed out the first eleven chapters of Genesis is really the bedrock of the Christian faith. If you dismiss the first eleven chapters, you call it myth or fables or anything else, and you end up without a biblical worldview because you in essence have misunderstood God.
As we think about that, we find that God does exist in Scripture, and He is the creator of all things. The Westminster Catechism sums up a lot of what Scripture says in this short statement about God, it says, “God is a spirit, infinite, eternal, unchangeable in His being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness, and truth.” That doesn’t tell us everything about God, but it does tell us a lot of things about who God is. He is nothing like any of us. He is beyond us and unchangeable and infinite in all things. He is a spirit. He is not a physical being. He is a spirit . . .
