STATEMENT OF AGREEMENT
Purpose
In
response to God’s love, grace and truth:
The purpose of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA is
to establish and advance at colleges and universities
witnessing communities of students and faculty
who follow Jesus as Savior and Lord:
growing in love for God,
God’s Word,
God’s people of every ethnicity and culture
and God’s purposes in the world.
Basis of Faith
We believe in:
The only true
God, the almighty Creator of all things,existing eternally in three persons—
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—full of love
and glory.The unique divine
inspiration,entire trustworthiness
and authority of the Bible.
The value and
dignity of all people:created in God’s image to live in love
and holiness,but alienated from God and each other
because of our sin and guilt,and justly subject to God’s wrath.
Jesus Christ,
fully human and fully divine,who lived as a perfect example,
who assumed the judgment due sinners by dying
in our place,and who was bodily raised from the dead and
ascended as Savior and Lord.Justification
by God’s grace to all who repentand put their faith in Jesus Christ alone
for salvation.The indwelling
presence and transforming power of the Holy Spirit,who gives to all believers a new life and
a new calling to obedientservice.
The unity of all
believers in Jesus Christ,manifest in worshipping and witnessing churches
making disciples throughout the world.
The victorious
reign and future personal return of Jesus Christ,who will judge all people with justice and
mercy,giving over the unrepentant to eternal condemnation
but receiving the redeemed into eternal life.
To God be glory
forever.
