God Is Three The one God of Scripture exists in three Persons. “For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day.” Exodus 20:11 The great mystery of God is that He is both One and Three. This was only ...
One God Only There is only one God, and He is LORD. “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our god, the LORD is one.” Deuteronomy 6:4 There is only one God, the God of Scripture. No other gods exist; thus, it is futile and dangerous to “have” any other gods besides this God or ...
Three Facets, on Focus The worldview of God’s Law begins with God. “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our god, the LORD is one.” Deuteronomy 6:4 The worldview which we find in God’s Law—spiritual, covenantal, redemptive, comprehensive, religious, and attainable—can be constructed within a framework of three facets. We may imagine this worldview as ...
An Attainable Worldview We can keep God’s Law with God’s help. “Oh that they had such a mind as this always, to fear me and to keep all my commandments, that it might go well with them and with their descendants forever!” Deuteronomy 6:29 Believers who are skeptical about the continuing validity of ...

A Redemptive Worldview The Law and worldview of God are for redemption and restoration. And God spoke all these words, saying, “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.” Exodus 20:1 The Biblical worldview contained in the Law of God ...
A Covenantal Worldview God’s Law is rooted in His Covenant of promise. And God heard their groaning, and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. And God saw the people of Israel—and God knew. Exodus 2:24, 25 The people of Israel were slaves in Egypt when God called Moses ...
A Spiritual Worldview All worldviews are constructed on “unseen” things. And the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush was burning, yet it was not consumed. And Moses said, “I will turn aside to ...
Worldview We all have one. And when Moses had finished speaking all these words to all Israel, he said to them, “Take to heart all the words by which I am warning you today, that you may command them to your children, that they may be careful to do all the words ...
