INTRODUCTION

You have learned that believers must see the world as God sees it. This vision of the world will develop only as you learn more about what God says in His Word about the world. This chapter presents a "master key" for understanding the Biblical world view, discusses God's purpose for the world, and provides a natural example which illustrates how He views the world. Chapters Four and Five continue this study of the world as it is presented in the Word of God in both the Old and New Testaments.
