We believe that Jesus Christ, the eternal Son, moved by love in accordance with the will of the Father, took on human flesh. Conceived through the miraculous work of the Holy Spirit, He was born of the virgin Mary. He, being fully God and fully man, lived a sinless life and sacrificially shed His blood and died on the cross in our place accomplishing redemption for all who place their faith in Him. He arose visibly and bodily from the dead three days later and ascended into heaven, where, at the Father’s right hand, He is now Head of His Body the Church, the only Savior and Mediator between God and man, and will return to earth in power and glory to consummate His redemptive mission (Matthew 1:20: 28:5-10; Luke 1:31-35; 2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 Timothy 2:5-6, 3:16; John 1:1, 14, 18, 14:6-11, 15:9, 12-13; Ephesians 1:22-23, 5:2; Luke 24:50-51, Colossians 1:18; Acts 1:10-11, 2:33; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-5:3).
