Christianity is the truth about everything. If you say you have

The words of Lecrae—“Christianity is the truth about everything. If you say you have a Christian worldview, that means you see the world through that lens—not just how people get saved and what to stay away from.”—strike with the force of a trumpet calling men and women to clarity. In this declaration, he reminds us that truth is not confined to the narrow realm of ritual or to the walls of a sanctuary. Instead, Christianity is not merely a set of rules or a ticket to salvation, but a lens through which all of life is to be perceived: creation, justice, beauty, love, work, and destiny.

The origin of such words lies in the struggle of faith in modern times. Too often, believers have reduced their vision to fragments—asking only, “What must I avoid? How is one saved?” But Lecrae, standing in the long line of those who see faith as a total way of life, recalls the ancient truth that the Gospel is not partial. It is a light by which every corner of existence is illuminated. To claim a Christian worldview is to confess that no part of life is untouched by the Creator’s hand and no corner of reality is beyond redemption.

History reveals the power of such a vision. Consider William Wilberforce, who looked upon the slave trade, defended by governments and justified by profit. Many Christians of his time confined their faith to worship and private morality, leaving such injustices untouched. But Wilberforce, seeing the world through the lens of Christianity, declared slavery to be an abomination before God. His worldview guided him to labor for decades until the trade was abolished. This is the very truth Lecrae speaks of: when Christianity is applied not just to saving souls, but to transforming society, its light becomes irresistible.

The ancients knew this as well. Augustine, in his City of God, argued that truth is not divided between sacred and secular, but that all reality is unified under the sovereignty of God. He reminded his readers that kingdoms, laws, and art all fall under the searching light of faith. Lecrae’s words echo this wisdom: a faith that hides from culture is a faith that denies its own fullness. But a faith that looks upon all things—science, politics, family, art, justice—through the lens of Christ proclaims that Christianity is, indeed, the truth about everything.

Yet such a vision requires courage. For the world resists any total claim. It seeks to divide life into compartments, to say, “Here you may bring your faith, but here you must not.” Lecrae warns against such compromise. The believer who lives with a true Christian worldview must be bold enough to let faith shape every decision: how one treats the poor, how one does business, how one raises children, how one creates, and how one confronts evil. Anything less is to live half-blind, reducing eternal truth to temporary rules.

The lesson for us, then, is profound. Do not shrink your faith into a corner. Do not let it be reduced to a list of prohibitions or a formula for salvation alone. Let it be the lens through which you behold reality itself. Ask: What does Christianity teach me about justice? About beauty? About the dignity of my neighbor? About the stewardship of the earth? When you answer through the eyes of faith, you live as one whose worldview is whole and whose steps are aligned with truth.

Therefore, take these actions: examine the places in your life where you have separated faith from practice, and unite them. Bring your work under the banner of Christ, as well as your worship. Bring your love of neighbor into politics, your care for justice into art, your humility into science. Refuse to see the world in fragments; instead, see it as one tapestry, woven by God, to be lived fully in His light. For as Lecrae proclaims, Christianity is the truth about everything, and only when you see through that lens do you walk in the fullness of life.
