Genesis 1:1, Genesis 1:26–27, Genesis 3:22, Psalm 90:2, Matthew 28:19, 1 Peter 1:2, 2 Corinthians 13:14 about jesus christWe believe in Jesus Christ as the only Son of God, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to Heaven, and in His personal return. Jesus Christ was completely human when he was on earth, but at the same time completely God. He is the reason for bringing people back into a right relationship with their Creator. He defeated death in His resurrection so that we could live life here on earth more abundantly and so we could have eternal life when we die physically.
