When compared with non-Western cultures and civilizations, it becomes plain that worldview is important. The primary implication of our worldview is how we view other people. Human dignity impacts how we work, how we do medicine, and our interactions with other people. A high view of our neighbors comes from Scripture. Every other worldview either shelters us in our selfishness or diminishes the dignity God has given each human by creating them in His image. Without the Bible, we will never have the right view of others. The West is beginning to lose its soul because of its disregard for the Bible. The solution to this is not more education and universities but to return to God's Word and His plan for a successful society. |
