  • Essay / The Basic Christian View of Providence - 994

Individuals who believe in destiny and blind destiny determining the journey and final course of life would not align with the Stoic view of Providence. Providence also refers to foresight and foresight, these futuristic concepts linked to the religious domain. According to this view, all things unfold according to the Lord's divine plan. Over the years, the Stoic view of Providence has developed, with some philosophers offering their own insightful versions. Cleanthe decided to write a poem about this concept, praising God as a benevolent being who designed the world based on Providence. Later, in the 5th century BC, Herodotus slightly modified his interpretation of Providence, mentioning nature. He believed that divine providence was a type of wisdom that maintained a sense of balance in the world by preventing one type of creature from dominating all other creatures. The Christian view of Providence has some history in both Greek and Roman views.

Christians also believed that God cared about the people in the world he created, looking out for their well-being. The German book, Religion in Geschichte und Gegenwart, attempts to explain Providence even further by stating: "God maintains the world in existence by his care, he deliberately governs and directs the world and humanity according to his purpose, and he made in his omnipotence of God the Creator, in his goodness...... middle of paper...... the world.

When times in life get tough and difficult, it is also this feeling of hope that keeps us going, giving us the confidence that we are on the right path. Essentially, hope, being true to oneself, and peace of mind all contribute to creating a good life for us. For some people, it is the feeling of God-inspired Providence that gives them hope and peace of mind. For others, it is the promise of the universe through destiny that helps keep that hope alive, peace of mind and a good life are the ultimate rewards..
