People behave as they really believe. But our actions are only the tip of the iceberg. What really drives us is our invisible worldview that lives beneath the surface. Our worldview is shaped by a complex collection of broken relationships (with God, parents, and others), a mixture of true and false beliefs about reality, and values that are primarily directed toward the self. Embracing a Christian worldview — thinking Christianly — means growing in our ability to understand and live all of life from God’s perspective.
This becomes possible as our relationship with God is restored in the gospel (and this serves as the basis for restoration of relationships with others), we replace false beliefs with truth as our minds are renewed (Romans 12:2), and we give priority to God over self and come to increasingly love what God loves by the constant enablement of the Holy Spirit.
This process of worldview formation is essential to living well and flourishing according to God’s design.
