GRACE Homeschool Fellowship Statement of Faith:
We Believe:
There is only ONE God, the Creator of the heavens and Earth.
- “Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.” John 17:3
- “yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live…” 1 Corinthians 8:6
- “This is what the Lord says- Israel’s King and Redeemer, the Lord Almighty: I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God.” Isaiah 44:6
- “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1
- “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth….” Genesis 14:18
The Bible is the inspired Word of God and the final authority for faith and practice.
- “…and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness.” 2 Timothy 3:15-16
Jesus is the Son of God.
- “Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well.” 1 John 5:1
- “Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.” 1 John 5:5
Jesus paid the price for our sins by dying on the cross and was resurrected on the 3rd day.
- “…that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures…” 1 Corinthians 15:3-4
Salvation is through Jesus Christ alone.
- “For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him.” 1 Thessalonians 5:9-10
- “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6
God created “mankind” with two genders, male and female.
- “So, God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them;
- male and female, he created them.” Genesis 1:27
- “…. When God created mankind, he made them in the likeness of God. He created them male and female and blessed them. And he named them “Mankind” when they were created.” Genesis 5:1-2
God designed marriage to be between one male and one female.
- “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’ ? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate.” Matthew 19:4-5
- “Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.” That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.” Genesis 2:22-24
