Jesus Christ The Son of God
I believe Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was both fully God and fully man, two natures in one Person, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a human virgin named Mary. He performed miracles to manifest His deity, lived a sinless life, suffered and died as the only completely satisfactory sacrifice for the sin of the whole world. He arose from the dead on the third day and His bodily resurrection guarantees the resurrection of all who believe in Him as Savior by faith alone. He ascended to the right hand of God the Father where He reigns over the universe and intercedes for Believers. He will return to earth to further establish His kingdom.
I believe that man was created in the image of God but fell into disobedience by a voluntary decision and as a result, became separated from God, making him spiritually dead and subject to physical death. This fallen nature was transmitted to all humanity. Because Christ was able to live a sinless life, His death and resurrection provides humanity a way of redemption. Only those who receive Christ by faith are forgiven, spiritually born again of the Holy Spirit, and thus become reunited children of God. Faith alone is the condition of salvation, but good works and righteous living should accompany such faith and furnish evidence of its reality.
