JESUS CHRIST
WE BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD WHO BECAME A MAN, LIVED A SINLESS LIFE, DIED ON A CROSS, WAS BURIED, ROSE BODILY FROM THE GRAVE AND ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN TO REDEEM SINFUL HUMANITY.
Christ is the second person of the Trinity, fully God, eternally begotten of the Father. He is the image of the Father, eternal, not made, and the maker of all things. He became fully human, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and made His dwelling among us, living a full life without sin. His perfect life and death on the cross provide the only atonement that satisfies the righteous requirements of God for the sinner. The death of Jesus Christ fully and finally paid for sin, and was redemptive, substitutionary, and efficacious. The historic fact of Jesus Christ’s resurrection from the dead testifies powerfully to His deity, and is itself humanity’s ultimate hope. Jesus Christ will make a personal return to the earth; this imminent return is a sanctifying hope having vital bearing on the life of all Christians.
(John 1:1-14; John 20:30-31; 1 Tim. 3:16; Col. 1:12-20; Rev. 1:7, 22:12)
