New Perspectives





What is a new perspective? A perspective is, "a particular attitude toward or way of regarding something; a point of view." Everyone has a perspective. Your perspective is based upon your world view. A secular humanist will view the world differently than a Buddhist or naturalist would. As Christians, we should view the world a certain way. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." What does this mean? Well, this means that our view, or perspective, of the world changes when we are saved. We see everything around us differently. A tree is no longer just a plant. It is now a gift given to us for our enjoyment and use. We see that we need to protect what God has given us and use it in the ways that He designed it for. God is good, and He has blessed us with every good thing. We are to view the world from a Biblical view point. Everything we see and think must be done through the Biblical glasses. When we are saved, we begin looking through a filter that changes the way we see everything. Evaluate the way that you view trials, pain, politics, beauty, the world and other controversial topics. Do you need a new perspective?
