Worldview Assignment
I. Worldview is the way someone sees the world; it is a mental model of reality. It is the framework of life and effects the way we see everything. Everyone has a worldview, good or bad. A biblical worldview helps us to live life correctly, using the Bible as a filter, and we believe our reason of being is to serve the Lord.

We were all created with a conscience, realizing that we all sin and no one is perfect except for our Lord and Savior.
Explained in Romans 13:8-10, Galatians 3:28
5. Destiny- The belief of Heaven and eternal life is our destiny. We know that no one can live a sin free life and we are not judged by moral perfection. We must ask Him to forgive us for our sins, to accept us as his children, to
