The Bible proclaims the Lord Jesus Christ as the Only-Begotten Son of God by
whom all things were created. He was born of the virgin Mary, lived a sinless
life, died on the cross, rose again bodily, ascended into Heaven, sits at the
right hand of the Father as High Priest and Advocate for us, and will come again
to judge the living and the dead. He is the object of our faith, Savior, and
Lord.
The Savior: Delivering people from their sin
But when he was giving thought to these things, an
angel of the Lord came to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David,
have no fear of taking Mary as your wife; because that which is in her
body is of the Holy Spirit.
And she will give birth to a son; and you will give him the name Jesus;
for he will give his people salvation from their sins.
Now all this took place so that the word of the Lord by the prophet
might come true,
See, the virgin will be with child, and will give birth to a son, and
they will give him the name Immanuel, that is, God with us.
Matthew 1:20-23
For him who had no knowledge of sin God made to be sin for us; so that
we might become the righteousness of God in him.
2 Corinthians 5:21
For I gave to you first of all what was handed down to me, how Christ underwent
death for our sins, as it says in the Writings;
And he was put in the place of the dead; and on the third day he came back from
the dead, as it says in the Writings...
1 Corinthians 15:3-4
And when he had said these things, while they were looking, he was taken up, and
went from their view into a cloud.
And while they were looking up to heaven with great attention, two men came to
them, in white clothing,
And said, O men of Galilee, why are you looking up into heaven? This Jesus, who
was taken from you into heaven, will come again, in the same way as you saw him
go into heaven. Acts 1:9-11
Who will give a decision against us? It is Christ Jesus who not only was
put to death, but came again from the dead, who is now at the right hand
of God, taking our part.
Romans 8:34
God in Human Flesh: Equal with God
From the first he was the Word, and the Word was in
relation with God and was God.
This Word was from the first in relation with God.
All things came into existence through him, and without him nothing was.
What came into existence in him was life, and the life was the light of
men.
And the light goes on shining in the dark; it is not overcome by the
dark. John
1:1-5
The true light, which gives light to every man, was then coming into the
world.
He was in the world, the world which came into being through him, but
the world had no knowledge of him.
He came to the things which were his and his people did not take him to
their hearts.
To all those who did so take him, however, he gave the right of becoming
children of God--that is, to those who had faith in his name:
Whose birth was from God and not from blood, or from an impulse of the
flesh and man's desire.
And so the Word became flesh and took a place among us for a time; and
we saw his glory--such glory as is given to an only son by his
father--saw it to be true and full of grace.
John 1:9-14
In times past the word of God came to our fathers through the prophets,
in different parts and in different ways;
But now, at the end of these days, it has come to us through his Son, to
whom he has given all things for a heritage, and through whom he made
the order of the generations;
Who, being the outshining of his glory, the true image of his substance,
supporting all things by the word of his power, having given himself as
an offering making clean from sins, took his seat at the right hand of
God in heaven;
Having become by so much better than the angels, as the name which is
his heritage is more noble than theirs.
Hebrews 1:1-4
Truly I say to you, If a man keeps my word he will
never see death.
The Jews said to him, Now we are certain that you have an evil spirit.
Abraham is dead, and the prophets are dead; and you say, If a man keeps
my word he will never see death.
Are you greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets
are dead: who do you say that you are?
Jesus said in answer, If I take glory for myself, my glory is nothing:
it is my Father who gives me glory, of whom you say that he is your God.
You have no knowledge of him, but I have knowledge of him; and if I said
I have no knowledge of him I would be talking falsely like you: but I
have full knowledge of him, and I keep his word.
Your father Abraham was full of joy at the hope of seeing my day: he saw
it and was glad.
Then the Jews said to him, You are not fifty years old; have you seen
Abraham?
Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, Before Abraham came into being,
I am.
So they took up stones to send at him: but Jesus got secretly out of
their way and went out of the Temple.
