Do You Believe? - Message 7 - What Does God Say? Theism is a worldview built by faith that the Bible is a credible source for absolute truth. This is a Christian worldview, a worldview based upon what the Scriptures tell us in answering the questions that come up throughout life. Faith in God and His Word informs our mind and heart about the absolute truths of this world and the world to come. If we turn this on its head, we will believe something that may be right, but we will believe it for the wrong reasons. It is like the danger inherent in an overconfident systematic theology, namely the temptation to make everything fit, to have all the answers, and to have it all figured out and neatly categorized. The truth is that we must instead trust the Word to inform our minds of truth, and even then we have this limitation, “‘My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways', says the LORD” (Isaiah 55:8). It might not all fit, and we will never figure it all out with this fallen mind – but there we are again right back where we started – faith. We must take God at His Word and let His Word establish the grid through which we view life. Theism then, a Biblical worldview, can be defined as a worldview that is built upon this statement – The Bible is the Word of God. The Scriptures are the very words of God given to us through the hands of men inspired by the Holy Spirit. It is the words of God just as if He were here speaking audibly to us right now. The Bible is what God says. Having a Biblical worldview is critical to knowing truth and to understanding why things are the way that they are.
