CHRISTIAN FAMILY LAW ASSOCIATION

STATEMENT OF FAITH

    As a follower of Jesus Christ, I believe the following:

• The sixty-six canonical books of the Bible as originally written were inspired of God, and they serve as a guide in faith and practice.

• There is one God, who exists eternally in three Persons; the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, who are of one substance and equal in power and glory.

• Man, created in the image of God, through disobedience fell from his sinless state into a state of sin and spiritual death. From this condition man can be saved only by the grace of God, through faith, on the basis of the work of Christ, and by the agency of the Holy Spirit.

• The eternally pre-existent Son was born of the virgin Mary. In the Lord Jesus Christ divine and human natures were united in one Person, both natures being whole, perfect and distinct. To effect salvation, He lived a sinless life and died on the cross as the sinner's substitute, shedding His blood for the remission of sins. On the third day He rose from the dead, and He ascended to the right hand of the Father. He shall come again to complete His saving work and to consummate the eternal plan of God.

• The Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Triune God. He applies to man the work of Christ. By justification and adoption man is given a right standing before God; by regeneration, sanctification and glorification man's nature is renewed.

• The believer, having turned to God in penitent faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, is accountable to God for living a life separated from sin and characterized by the fruit of the Spirit. It is his responsibility to contribute by word and deed to the universal spread of the Gospel.

• At the end of the age the bodies of the dead shall be raised. The righteous shall enter into full possession of eternal bliss in the presence of God, and the wicked shall be condemned to eternal death.
