Statement of Faith

Genesis 2-18 has adopted the Apostle's creed and statement of faith of the World Evangelical Alliance. We are a non-denominational matrimony website and social network for disciples of Jesus.

We believe in:

The Holy Scriptures as originally given by God, divinely inspired, infallible, entirely trustworthy; and the supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.

One God, eternally existent in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit

Our Lord Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh, His virgin birth, His sinless human life, His divine miracles, His vicarious and atoning death, His bodily resurrection, His ascension, His mediatorial work, and His personal return in power and glory.

The Salvation of lost and sinful man through the shed blood of the Lord  Jesus Christ by faith apart from works, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the believer is enabled to live a holy life, to witness and work for the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Unity of the Spirit of all true believers, the Church, the Body of Christ.

The Resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.

 

As for the marriage, we believe that:

      God created man and woman in His image and for His glory. We believe God created a man and a woman with equal value but with differing roles and responsibilities in marriage.

      Marriage is a covenant between one man and one woman in the presence of God, which was designed and established by God to be holy, sacred, and lifelong. Marriage is a sacred institution of God in which men and women can experience the truest sense of spiritual, emotional, and physical intimacy so that the two can become one. We believe God created marriage for the purpose of couples glorifying God as one flesh, parenting godly children, and enjoying each other. As iron sharpens iron, we believe God uses marriage to sharpen a man and woman into the image of Jesus Christ. 

      The husband’s responsibility is to love his wife. This love is characterized by taking the initiative to lead her, serve her, care for her, and honor her as a gift from God. We also believe a husband is to seek after and highly regard his wife’s opinion and counsel and treat her as the equal partner she is in Christ

      The wife’s responsibility is to love, respect, and support her husband. This love is characterized by taking the initiative to serve him, affirm him, care for him, respect him, follow and support him as a leader. 

      Christian marriage should be a reflection of Christ and His love for the church.

      Families are the building blocks of a church, society, and nation. This can be achieved only through marriages that are built on God's principles.
