We believe that Jesus Christ is God’s eternal Son, the living and ever-present Lord. He is true God and true man, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. We also believe in His sinless life, His substitutionary atonement, His bodily resurrection from the dead, His ascension into heaven, His priestly intercession on behalf of His people, and His personal, visible, return from heaven (Matthew 1:18, Matthew 1:23; Luke 24:1-8; John 1:1, John 1:14; Acts 1:11; 2 Corinthians 5:19-21; Hebrews 4:14-16; Hebrews 7:24-25; 1 John 2:1; Revelation 19, Matt. 28:19-20).
