In analyzing a biblical worldview, which distinctive would be most compelling to your non-Christian friends? Why?

“The Bible and Meaning” – People are always looking for meaning and fulfillment. Whenever we find our meaning in this world, at some point we will be disappointed or left chasing after more, and there never seems to be any real satisfaction with our lives. As Christians, we should set the example by finding meaning hope, life, peace, love, and joy because we find it in Jesus. People want find meaning in something that lasts beyond themselves – and you can find that in Christ!

Today, the most sought after thing I’ve see non-Christians chasing is “justice”. There seems to be an acceptance that the world and it’s institutions are far from perfect, if not downright broken, and there is a desire to see justice done to those who have caused harm and for those who have been victimized. The idea that there is a God who recognizes the injustice of the world and who aims to “make all things new” with the renewal of not only the individual human, but also all of creation with the coming of the “new earth” is compelling to those who feel powerless to fix everything by their own power.

That we were created for a purpose, and even though we all have not lived out our purpose perfectly because of the sin nature, God made a way to redeem us back to Himself and He will still use us for our purpose. That the eternal life He offers us is not just for the future after we die, but that it starts right now.

The honest and practical way Christianity identifies our brokenness and our hope. It points out how flawed and wicked we are and the stumbling process even when the Holy Spirit comes into us. It doesn’t paint an overly ideal or overly theoretical picture of good and evil. It ‘makes sense’ and calls it what it is while also pointing to a heartfelt longing of being fully known and truly loved as what we receive in Jesus and more.
