ABSTRACT

Christian counselors always treat the matter of human beings. And it is very important to set in the right perspective on human beings. In other words, it is the essential mission for Christian counselors to reconsider the correct direction by judging from the Christian view. This study argues that the core of the direction is applying Christian worldview to human being and Christian counseling. The main goal of Christian counseling makes people grow to one's whole personality through his or her changes in worldview, which has to be based on God’s grace and Holy Spirit. The real change can be started from restoring the relationships with God and the renewal of worldview according to sound biblical perspective. This should come before actual changes. Also, the worldview can be changed effectively through Christian counselling, especially, led by Christian counselors having a proper worldview. For Christian counselors, therefore, it should be preceded to establish the desirable Christian worldview. Recognizing the importance of Christian worldview, this study emphasizes on having the right worldview, which is essential element for changing of both christians and non-christians. Another reason why the study focuses on the worldview is to avoid compromising with clients who don’t have the firm worldview, and to practice the sincere Christian counseling by building Christian worldview among them.
