How is Christianity more than just a worldview? Provide some examples.
-
Christianity is more than just a worldview because it’s taking truth to the world. Unbelievers have a wall between them and the cross and we live in a world that is always looking for meaning and it gives meaning by bringing truth. John 16:6 “Jesus is the way the truth and the life.”

A worldview is just a set of ideas. Christianity is a new way of life. Coming to Christ can and will radically change a man, towards good. A set of ideas is not alive.

Every religion needs a worldview, a kind of philosophical synopsis of a particular perspective. It depends on theology. It is a set of assumptions about the basic makeup of the world. Not all worldviews can be true, so to be an intellectually responsible person, you have to ask is there a God, do I have a soul, an afterlife, what is the good life? We should care about our beliefs and how can we support what we believe. It is a way of distilling your foundation or core beliefs into intellectual terms, but not necessarily through a sound intellectual process.
The Christian worldview is more in the sense that it is reality, Jesus did rise from the dead and there is evidence that Jesus changes lives. Other religions claim truth, but are they successful in that? We should derive our worldview from what the bible teaches. God is the creator, designer of the universe, three persons, three in one. God is eternal, He has no beginning and end. He does not depend on anything outside Himself to exist. We have the ultimate reality, the infinite, personal, triune, incarnate God. Our worldview offers a new way of life. If we follow Jesus, we have a biblical worldview, we can be freed from self-deception, we can confess our sins before God. Our worldview is a real personal relationship with God not a set of religious ideals.

Living and showing others the Love of Jesus. Love like He does. The best example of who Jesus is and how He wants us to be!

While the questions of worldview are important to Christian apologetics we must not forget the whole history of and evidence for Christianity. Eyewitnesses such as Isaiah, recorded in Isaiah 6, confirm God has high, lofted and lifted up. Moses encountered God through the burning bush as recorded in Exodus 3. God instructed Moses to take off his sandals as the place he was standing was holy ground. Moses was also an eyewitness to the miracles of God, one being the parting the Red Sea (Exodus 14).
