Topic > Worldview Reflection Paper - 786

The first time I learned about a worldview was in my first undergraduate course at Belhaven University. I was told that we would write a worldview paper and during our time at university we would relaunch it as we learn and grow. My worldview would identify as a Christian worldview. I believe I was created by God for a special purpose that can only be revealed through Him. In the Bible it says, "Many are called but few are chosen." Matthew 22:14)(KJV) Jesus is saying that many are invited into the Kingdom, but only those who have decided to receive Christ will come.
