FOUNDATIONS OF A BIBLE-BASED CHRIST-CENTERED WORLDVIEW
Description
The search for the proper spiritualism is one of the most interesting aspects in the
Christianity. God has been portrayed as the omnipotent being in the universe. He possesses all
the powers that exist and he is capable of punishing the people who commit wrong deeds. This is
why he can be called as the cosmic cop (White 1998). God always stares at the human beings
with the extreme anger. It is because he wants to see who breaks the deadlock of ethics first.
Then only he can punish those beings. God is always compassionate and He treats in a good
manner who obeys the code of ethics of the God (Geering 2015). God always wants us to
commit the good deed of which He can always be proud of, just like the Santa Claus.
Analysis
This book has focused on the attitude of God towards the human beings. God is the
manifestation of perfection, warmth, trust and comfort for the human minds. The human beings
have to depend on the attitude of God according to the deeds committed by them. God is
generally very much benevolent indeed (Kasper 2012). The God shows either His love or anger
according to the extent of their deeds. He will surely bestow love and comfort to the person who
has done good works. On the contrary, He will demonstrate His anger for the people who have
committed foul things. God is seen as the ‘cosmic cop’ indeed. Human beings can experience the
existence of real God if he really commits good deeds (Kasper 2012).
Evaluation
This book can be evaluated by saying that the existence of God leaves a huge mark on the
work that the human beings on the earth (White 1998) God always keeps a secret but strict watch
on the factors that the human beings take up. He is always ready with His deadly weapons to

punish that person (Stump 2012). The people who do who good things will always get the best
outcomes from God. God is also seen as the person who is always very angry and the people
have to surrender to the powers of God in the ultimate fear. However, this tyrannical self is not
the self of God as depicted in Christianity. God is the benevolent entity who adopts the human
beings to His family when He understands the person’s good capacities (Stump 2012).
Personal response
I will describe about the feelings I had regarding the existence of God. I feel that God is
very much benevolent and He treats with all human beings in the same way. He thinks us to be a
part of His family. He has sent Jesus Christ to convey His messages to the mankind. I believe if I
do good things God will lead my way to salvation indeed. I have felt through my various
experiences that God is not the ultimate dictator who just barks instructions. Rather, He is the
calm persona who does all His judgments very clearly. This is why God leads us to the Heaven.
