Statement of Faith / The Lord Jesus Christ
The Lord Jesus Christ, God’s eternal Son, became human. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life as our pattern and example. He came to be the Saviour of the world, and to destroy the works of the devil. Through his substitutionary death there is freedom from the guilt and penalty of sin.
On the third day after his crucifixion he was raised bodily from death, and in his risen glorified body he ascended into heaven to the right hand of God the Father. There he continues as mediator and intercessor. He will return one day to earth to be the judge and ruler of all, receiving the redeemed into eternal glory, and establishing God’s just condemnation upon the impenitent.
