THE PERSON AND WORK OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
(Luke 1:30-35; John 1:1, 14, 18; Hebrews 4:15; Philippians 2:5-11)
We believe that, in infinite love for the lost, He voluntarily accepted His Father’s will and became the divinely provided sacrificial Lamb and took away the world’s sins.
(Romans 3:25-31; 2 Corinthians 5:14; Hebrews 10:5-14)
We believe He rose from the dead in the same body, though glorified, in which He had lived and died and that His resurrected body is the pattern of the body that ultimately will be given to all believers.
(John 20:20; Philippians 3:20-21)
We believe that on departing earth, He was accepted by His Father and that His acceptance is a final assurance to us that His redeeming work was perfectly accomplished.
(Hebrews 1:3)
We believe that He became head over all things to the church, which is His body, and in this ministry, He does not cease to intercede and advocate for the saved.
