Jesus Christ

We believe that God became a human being in His Son Jesus Christ, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. Jesus is both God and man. He is the way, the truth and the life. Through Him and Him alone can people enter into a relationship with God and receive forgiveness and life. Jesus is now seated at the right hand of the God the Father and will return, at a time chosen by the Father, to receive His own and judge the world.

John 14:1-6 (HSCB)
"Your heart must not be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if not, I would have told you. I am going away to prepare a place for you. If I go away and prepare a place for you, I will come back and receive you to Myself, so that where I am you may be also. You know the way where I am going."
"Lord," Thomas said, "we don't know where You're going. How can we know the way?"
Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Acts 10:42-43 (HSCB)
He commanded us to preach to the people, and to solemnly testify that He is the One appointed by God to be the Judge of the living and the dead. All the prophets testify (B) about Him that through His name everyone who believes in Him will receive forgiveness of sins."
Acts 17:31 (HSCB)
because He has set a day on which He is going to judge the world in righteousness by the Man He has appointed. He has provided proof of this to everyone by raising Him from the dead."

1 Corinthians 15:1-8 (HSCB)
Now brothers, I want to clarifyfor you the gospel I proclaimed to you; you received it and have taken your stand on it. You are also saved by it, if you hold to the message I proclaimed to you—unless you believed to no purpose. For I passed on to you as most important what I also received:that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve. Then He appeared to over 500 brothers at one time, most of whom remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep.Then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles. Last of all, as to one abnormally born, He also appeared to me.

Colossians 1:13-23 (HSCB)
He has rescued us from the domain of darkness and transferred us into the kingdomof the Son He loves, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
He is the image of the invisible God,
the firstborn over all creation; because by Him everything was created, in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible,whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and by Him all things hold together.He is also the head of the body, the church;He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He might come to have first place in everything.For God was pleased [to have] all His fullness dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile everything to Himself by making peace through the blood of His cross —whether things on earth or things in heaven.

And you were once alienated and hostile in mind because of your evil actions. But now He has reconciled you by His physical body through His death, to present you holy, faultless, and blameless before Him— if indeed you remain grounded and steadfast in the faith, and are not shifted away from the hope of the gospel that you heard. [This gospel] has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and I, Paul, have become a minister of it.

1Thessalonians 4:13-18 (HSCB)
We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, concerning those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve like the rest, who have no hope. Since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, in the same way God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep through Jesus. For we say this to you by a revelation from the Lord: We who are still alive at the Lord's coming will certainly have no advantage over those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the archangel's voice, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are still alive will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and so we will always be with the Lord. Therefore encourage one another with these words.

Hebrews 1:1-3 (HSCB)
Long ago God spoke to the fathers by the prophets at different times and in different ways. In these last days, He has spoken to us by [His] Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things and through whom He made the universe. He is the radiance of His glory, the exact expression of His nature, and He sustains all things by His powerful word. After making purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.
