What
the Management and Owners of Matchwise.com Believe:
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons:
Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. (Matt.28:19; II
Corinthians 13:14)
We believe that the Bible in its entirety is the Holy,
infallible Word of God; that it is and ever shall be the
complete and final revelation of the will of God to man,
and the final authority in all spiritual matters. (II
Tim.3:16)
We believe that Jesus Christ is God, the Son. We believe
that He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin
Mary, lived a sinless life, and by His voluntary sacrificial
death on Calvary and by His bodily and visible resurrection
from the dead, paid the penalty of sin and purchased eternal
life for all. (Micah 5:2; Matt.1:20,21,25; John
19:17-19; 20:16,17)
We believe that God created the universe and that it was
perfect; that man was created in the image of God, but fell
into sin; that all men are sinners by nature and under God's
condemnation. (Gen.1:1,2,27; Romans 5:18a)
We believe that salvation is the gift of God, by grace
through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose blood was
shed for the forgiveness of our sins; that this salvation
is the possession of those who by faith accept Christ as
their personal Savior. We believe that there is no other
way of salvation. (John 3:16; 16:7-11; Rom.10:13;
Eph.2:5,8)
We believe that the Holy Spirit, who is a Person of the
Trinity, convicts the world of sin, of righteousness, and
of judgment, and that it is by His power that the born-again
Christian is enabled to live the Christian life. (Matthew
28:18,19; Romans 8:1,14)
We believe that Jesus Christ ascended to the right hand
of the Father, where He is interceding for each believer;
that He will bodily and visibly return again.
We believe that God has appointed a day in which He will
judge the world in righteousness by Jesus; that those who
trust in the Lord Jesus Christ shall dwell eternally with
Him, and that those who refuse His offer of salvation shall
eternally be cast into the Lake of Fire. (John 14:1-3;
Romans 6:23; Revelations 21:8)
