Right View 正見 - 1

Buddha told us that the first of the Eight-fold path 八正道 is to have the right view 正見. This is very true. Once you have the right view, you will have a good beginning.

And this is the right view - the Biblical world view.

First, know that there is a God.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. (Genesis 1:1 NASB, NLT, NIV)

Next, know that God created everything through His Word - Jesus and for Him.
All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. (John 1:3 ESV)
For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities - all things have been created through Him and for Him. (Colossians 1:16 NASB)

Thirdly, know that God create all things for His glory.
For my own sake, for my own sake, I do it, for how should my name be profaned? My glory I will not give to another. (Isaiah 48:11 ESV)

The right view must be produce the right response.

Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. (Revelation 4:11 KJV)

The right view must be produce the right relationship. Acknowledge God as the creator.
Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. (Psalm 100:3 KJV)

And God will make us His sons, and He our Father.
But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. (John 1:12-13 ESV)

And we shall have eternal life.

And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. (John 17:3 ESV)

Know that God always has your good in His mind.
He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? (Romans 8:32 KJV)
What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him! (Luke 11:11-13 ESV)
Father of the fatherless and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation. (Psalm 68:5 ESV)

Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him! (Psalm 34:8 ESV)

Therefore, be wise, and know God.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. (Proverbs 1:7 KJV)
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. (Proverbs 9:10 NASB)
