Personal Worldview Inventory
Everyone has a worldview. They are rules or values set by ourselves to shape the
way we choose to live. They are an important part of people’s lives that shape their entire
view on life and how they react in life’s events. I’ve always been brought up in Christian
home and surrounded by God-loving people in my life. I’ve gone through several life
experiences that have forced me to whole-heartedly depend on Jesus as my rock that have

potentially made my faith grow deeper. I live out a Christian worldview that helps me
view the world how Jesus would and helps me respond in rational ways.
I base my worldview off of the presuppositions, assumptions and beliefs that I
have in order to fully live out my worldview. I believe that God is the only god there is
and He is the way, the truth and the life and that there is no other way to come to Jesus
but through the Father (John 14:6). I believe that the Bible is God’s word and the way He
speaks to us in order for us to follow His teachings and learn from biblical passages. My
worldview relies on God’s word as the truth and allows me to turn to it when I need it the
most.
Prime reality can be described as, according to the Christian Worldview, God. In
other worldviews, it could mean multiple gods or material cosmos (Worldviews,2002).
Scientism has the view of everything can be answered by science and if it can’t, then it is
not true. It states that only scientific claims are meaningful. Postmodernism is hard to
define because one with this belief system is open to several truths. The belief is very
vague because there are no definite terms, boundaries or absolute truths to be able to pin
point a definition (Worldviews, 2002).
God created the universe, being above all else (Genesis 1:1). God the Father, the
Son and the Holy Spirit are all the same being; the trinity. God is described as Holy
(Isaiah 6:3) and perfect (Matthew 5:48). The characteristics that define God are just,
loving, truthful, holy, all knowing, all-powerful, compassionate, merciful, promising and
graceful (Muhlenkamp, 2010).God sent his only son, Jesus, to die on the cross as the
ultimate sacrifice for the human race so that we sinners could live eternally with Him in
Heaven (John 3:16).
