We believe Jesus is , Lord Christ, and the incarnate reality of God. He is the walking revelation of
God's love to humanity. He embodied grace. He died on the cross for the redemption of God's creation,
and He got up on Easter morning to confirm to the world that God is still in control of heaven and earth.
He is the only means to salvation. He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin, Mary.
Jesus perfectly revealed and did the will of God, taking upon Himself human nature with its demands and
necessities and identifying Himself completely with man-kind; yet, without sin. He honored the divine law
by His personal obedience, and in His substitutionary death on the cross He made provision for the
redemption of men from sin. He was raised from the dead with a glorified body and appeared to His disciples
as the person who was with them before His crucifixion. He ascended into heaven and is now exalted at
the right hand of God where He is the One Mediator, fully God, fully man, in whose Person is effected
the reconciliation between God and man. He will return in power and glory to judge the world and to consummate
His redemptive mission. He now dwells in all believers as the living and ever present Lord.
