The Scriptures are the written and inspired Word of God, the infallible and authoritative rule of faith for the direction of the whole of life. God created and structured the universe in all its many ways by His Word. God's image-bearer, with whom He has established a special covenant relationship in Jesus Christ. Christ, the Word of God incarnate, is the only Redeemer, the Renewer of our whole life. He restores man and the rest of the creation to God and calls man back to his God-appointed task in the world.
Man is by nature a religious being.
All of human life, including educational work, must be understood as a response to the one true God. Consequently, man serves either the Lord or a god of his own making. True knowledge of God, ourselves, and the rest of the creation is made possible only by means of a true faith in Jesus Christ, in whom are found all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. True knowledge is attained only when the Holy Spirit enlightens people's hearts by the integrating Word of God and sets them in the truth. However, by God's gracious providence after the fall, those who reject the Word of God do provide many valuable insights into the structure of reality.
