Cosgrove describes a worldview as “a set of assumptions or beliefs about reality that influence the way we think and the way we live” (p. 19). A person's worldview has been shaped from the day they are born by family, friends, the media, and even strangers. Worldviews are important because they allow us to “develop a deep and comprehensive faith that will withstand the ceaseless tide of unbiblical ideas in our culture” (Tackett). Our actions also tend to mimic our beliefs: for example, if you believe there is life after death as Christians do, your priorities should reflect your dedication to following Christ and not being of this world (John 15:19 NLT). As I have learned more and more about worldviews in this course, especially a Christian worldview, I have the opportunity to look back at what my worldview was and how it has changed. Because I grew up in a church, and have been a Christian for as long as I can remember, I always thought I had a Christian worldview. However, after this course, I realized that I didn't know some of the basic Christian fundamentals: I knew that God is the creator of all things and that He is and everything He has made is love. In church I learned that God is loving, all-powerful, all-knowing, eternal, unchanging, holy, and all things good, which are similar to the characteristics Dr. Strobel talked about in class. My image of God hasn't changed much, if anything I've become more admired, especially regarding the Trinity. Also my idea of ​​what a person is, something that was created in the image of God but sinned, and what happens to human beings when they die, the body will remain but the soul will spend eternity in heaven or hell, it hasn't changed much (Zukeran ).
