Jesus - God the Son, the Savior, the Hope

We believe that Jesus Christ is the second person of the eternal, triune God who became a man, lived a sinless life, died on a cross, was buried, and physically rose from the grave to redeem sinful humanity. He is True God of True God, begotten not made.

He became human; conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary. He made his dwelling among us, living a full life without sin. His life and His death on the cross provide the only atonement that fully satisfies the righteous requirements of God for the sinner. The death of Jesus was a full and final payment for sin – redemptive, substitutional, and efficacious. The historic fact of Jesus’ resurrection from the dead is a powerful witness to his deity and is humanity’s ultimate hope in God. Jesus Christ will make a personal and imminent return to Earth. His return is a sanctifying “hope” which has vital bearing on the life of every Christian.
