Hinduism and Christian Worldview: A worldview can be described as a person's interpretation or perspective of the world around himself or herself. While this perspective or interpretation is developed over time, it's usually influenced by various factors including personality and the environment. However, this concept has several varying definitions because it includes a variety of emotions, meaning, and probable outcomes. In some cases, a worldview is described as the unifying outlook with which thoughts regarding different aspects in life are organized. This implies that a worldview is a person's or group's philosophy about life.

Biblical/Christian Worldview:

Since an individual's worldview is developed over time and influenced by what a person learns and experiences, Christianity and Hinduism are some of the major religions with different worldviews. Christianity is a religion whose question of origin is based on the belief that humans were created by the one and only mighty God (Genesis 1:27). This perspective also believes that the Almighty God created the entire world and everything in it during a 6-day creation period. The 6-day creation period culminated with the creation of a man and woman i.e. Adam and Eve on the sixth day from whom the global population has its origin.

With regards to the issue of identity, Christians maintain that humans are unique and purposeful creations of God. According to Genesis 1:28-30 and Genesis 2:15, mankind was not only created in God's image and likeliness, but was also given the authority to rule over the earth through caring for plant life and livestock (Gutierrez & Weider, 2011, p.58).

On the question of meaning or purpose, Christianity worldview affirms that the sole reason for mankind's existence is to glorify her creator i.e. God. Glorifying the creator is a process that is accomplished through various means such as prayer, worship, thanksgiving, and obedience (Psalms 95 and Philippians 2:12-13). Moreover, the basis of glorifying God is cultivating a significant and intense personal relationship with God whose end goal is to...

The meaning of right and wrong in Christianity originates from the person of God who provided humans with law that acts as the foundation. In this case, God established morality rather than leaving it as an issue for mankind to figure out. However, the question of morality is answered by salvation from the righteous judgment of God following mankind's rejection of the law of God on morality (Romans 3:23).
John 14:6 answers the question of destiny where Christians belief in life after death either with the Holy Trinity in heaven or in Satan's hell. This belief is based on the consideration of heaven and hell as literal places rather than figurative places. For one to go to heaven, he or she must be justified through believing and accepting Jesus Christ's sacrifice. The failure to believe in the life, death, burial and resurrection of the Son of God result in eternal separation from God in hell (Romans 6:23).

Impact of a Biblical Worldview:

The biblical worldview may influence how I think about, speak, and treat others on a daily basis by necessitating the use of biblical principles in these processes. The major biblical principle that would be used in my treatment of other, speech, and thoughts is the instructions in Ephesians 4:29-32. In this case, I am instructed to avoid corrupt speech while encouraging others, to show kindness, to demonstrate love, to forgive others, and to seek to live in peace with others. In addition, the biblical worldview influences me to show great concern and care to the environment by preserving and safeguarding the earth and its creatures. Therefore, environmental responsibility is a major aspect of my relationship with God.
