Statement
of Faith
Family Matters believes...
...in the entire Bible, both
Old and New Testaments are the inspired
Word of
God. It is the final and sole authority of all Christian life and
practices.
...there is one true God,
eternally existing in three Persons--Father,
Son
and Holy Spirit--each of Whom possesses equally all the attributes of
deity
and are One in character and purpose.
...in the deity of Jesus
Christ; His virgin birth, perfect life,
redeeming
death, bodily resurrection, heavenly intercession for His own, and His
personal return. Complete salvation is through Jesus Christ.
...that the Holy Spirit came
into the world to reveal and glorify
Christ and
to apply the saving work of Christ to men. He convicts and draws
sinners to
Christ and imparts new life to them. His fullness, power and control
are
appropriated in the believer's life by faith.
...that men and women are a
unique creation of God and form one unity
of
body, mind and spirit. We were created in God's image but through
Adam's sin,
we became sinners and in need of salvation. One of the purposes of God
is to
fully restore the image of God in His creation. This means that all
areas of
life will be a concern for the Christian--social, spiritual and
physical.
...that marriage was
instituted by God, that children are precious in
God's
sight, and that one of the best pictures of God's kingdom on earth can
be
seen in the family unit. That through it's nurture and care, its
members can
provide a model of God's will on earth.
