What is the worldview of your grandchildren?

A worldview is a set of beliefs about life that defines how we live. Every human being has a worldview. It is a way of summarizing what we believe is right, which resolves how we live. Our beliefs matter, and that’s why our worldview matters, it’s the lens through which we view the world.

The biblical worldview is a set of beliefs, assumptions, or values based on the Bible that determines how a person lives. Grandparents have the opportunity to teach a grandchild to apply God’s truth to life for the goal to share God’s love and the gospel with others. The biblical worldview is taught by teaching our grandchildren the whole counsel of the Word of God and living as a Christlike example worthy of imitation. 

The four foundational truths of a biblical worldview are:

1.    Creation- God made the world good. (Genesis 1:1)

2.    Rebellion- Sin made the world groan (Romans 3:23)

3.    Salvation- Jesus paid for sin (John 3:16)

4.    Restoration-God will make the world new (2 Corinthians 5:17) 

The secularized world view aggressively opposes these foundational truths and is actively trying to convince young people to embrace a different set of belief system, one that will ultimately destroy their faith. If the world’s big lies are internalized, they become faith-busting beliefs, and young people walk away from Jesus.

A deep and lasting faith begins with a Biblical worldview because there’s a battle raging for the hearts and minds of our grandchildren and their parents. Pray they will learn the truth and live accordingly.

In this blog, I have shared briefly exerts from Dr. Josh Mulviihill’s book. To learn more about the Biblical Worldview I encourage you to purchase the book Biblical Worldview, what it is, why it matters, and how to shape the worldview of the next generation. It is available on Amazon.
