GRHE Statement of Faith – There is one God who exists eternally in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and Who created and maintains the world and all things in it, including man. The Holy Bible is the only divinely inspired written revelation of God’s dealings with and will for man. It is God’s Word in its entirety; it is complete; and it is without error in all matters of fact and doctrine. God created man in a state of fellowship with Him, but, through disobedience, man fell from this state and became sinful by nature and deed for which he stands condemned. To redeem men from their fallen state and the penalty of their sins, God the Son, through the Virgin Birth, became incarnate as the man, Jesus of Nazareth, who was fully human and fully God. He lived a sinless life, this life being given on the cross in substitution for man’s sin. Upon completion of this substitutionary death, He was resurrected and dwells in Heaven today. Man cannot save himself from his fallen state but his salvation from this, and eternal presence with God is available to him if he accepts, by faith, the birth, the substitutionary death, the resurrection, and the deity of Jesus Christ.
