Jesus Christ
Who is Jesus Christ according to the Bible?
Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, fully God and fully human. He lived without sin, died for our sins, rose bodily, and now intercedes for His people.
What we believe
We believe Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, fully God and fully human. Conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, He lived without sin and ministered in the power of the Spirit. He died for our sins, rose bodily from the grave, and ascended to the Father, where He intercedes for us.
What does John mean when he says the Word was made flesh?
John 1:1–14 identifies the Word as being with God and as God, then says the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. Luke 1:34–35 connects Jesus’ birth to the Holy Spirit. The Son’s true humanity matters because He entered the life He came to redeem.
Why are the cross, resurrection, and ascension central?
Paul identifies Christ’s death for sins, burial, resurrection, and appearances as central to the Gospel in 1 Corinthians 15:3–8. Hebrews 7:25 presents the risen Christ as the One who lives to intercede for those who come to God through Him.
