The Person of Christ:
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary as no other man has ever been or can be, that as God manifest in the flesh He lived a sinless life, and that prior to His human existence He has always existed as the eternal Son of God. As the perfect God-man He now exists in undiminished deity and perfect humanity, united forever in one person (Isa. 7:14; 9:6; Matt. 1:18-25; Luke 1:26-35; John 1:1, 14; Phil. 2:5-11).
The Work of Christ:
We believe the coming of Jesus Christ to earth was for the purpose of providing redemption for lost mankind through His sacrificial death and that His death made a full and vicarious atonement for our sins, sufficient for everyone, but effectual only for those who respond in faith. Upon His bodily resurrection from death He ascended into heaven where He now sits at the right hand of God the Father as our High Priest, interceding for believers until the time when He will come again to reign forever (Isa. 53:4-6; Gal. 4:4-5; I Tim. 1:15; Heb. 4:14-16; 7:25).
