Redemptive historical (gospel) worldview
Normative (objective truth)
More than how Jesus makes you feel, is Jesus Lord?
Is Jesus who he claimed to be?
This is the central pivotal point that the entirety of Christianity stands on. Everything else is secondary. Gay marriage, drunken lifestyles, etc. Jesus is Lord. Not just savior.
This starts a domino effect. His Lordship changes everything in your life. If not, you don't really understand who Jesus is. You might not be saved.
Existential (personal)
The truth of Jesus' Lordship will affect our lives. The objective truth will make us change how we handle finances, relationships, etc. It will impact us personally. This is the biblical worldview.
Subjective (situational)
Creation, fall, redemption, and consummation. This is the right view of history from the biblical point of view. Not only that, but this changes how we will read the Bible. We often read moralistically, rather than with a biblical worldview. But moralism only breeds either pride or defeatism. Biblical reading makes you consider Jesus as the center. That makes us approach things differently.
Is Jesus Lord?
If so, how should I live?
If so, how does it change how I perceive things?
