Gospel Essentials
There is so much information to learn about the Christian worldview. There are essential
elements to the Christian worldview. These elements include: God, humanity, Jesus, restoration,
analysis of Christianity & relating it to myself.
God
God can be described as so many different wonderful things. He has so many wonderful
characteristics. God is very compassionate & kind, to all of us. He loves us all equally & forgives
each & every one of us for our sins.
God has the ultimate power of the universe, for he is the one
