We believe that Jesus of Nazareth is the Christ (Messiah), God’s Son, that He is fully God and fully man, the living Word who became flesh through His miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit and His virgin birth. We believe Jesus lived a sinless life performing miracles as evidence of His deity, that He suffered and died, providing atonement to us through His shed blood, that He rose bodily from the dead and ascended to the right hand of the Father, and that He will personally return to earth in power and glory and will judge the living and the dead (Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 24:1-7 and 24:36-53; John 1:1-4, 1:14, and 1:29; Acts 1:11 and 2:22-24; Romans 8:34; 1 Corinthians 15:3-8; 2 Corinthians 5:10 and 5:21; Ephesians 1:7; Philippians 2:5-11; Colossians 1:19-22; Hebrews 1:1-4, 4:15, and 9:13-15; 1 John 2:1-2; Revelation 1:5-7 and 1:17-18).
