HIS LIFE was
pre-existent with God the Father, for our sake He was born
of a virgin, lived
as a man, experiencing human life, died on the cross,
a sacrifice for
our sin, was resurrected the third day, and ascended
into heaven at the
right hand of God where He now ministers in the
Heavenly Sanctuary
to the needs of His people. John 1.1-3, 14; Matt
1.18, 19; Heb 4.14,-
16; 8.1-5.
HIS WORD is
the Holy Scriptures by which He lived. It is primarily
through the Bible
that He communes with His people. In the Old and New
Testament He has
recorded His will for mankind as a light shining in a
dark place. Matt
4.4; 2 Tim 3.16, 17; 2 Pet 1.16-21; Psm 119.105.
HIS OBEDIENCE
to the will of His Father in every area of living revealed
a perfect life,
free from sin. This righteous life He offers as ours by
faith. His obedience
is an example to His disciples that they too will
love God supremely
and serve their fellow man unselfishly. John 8.46;
Rom 3.21-26; John
2.3-6; 1 Pet 2.21-25.
HIS DAY comes
each week on the seventh day. He called Himself Lord of
this day and He
faithfully observed each Sabbath. He made it during
creation week before
the entrance of sin and calls for people everywhere
to keep this day
as a memorial of His creation and as a sign of His
redemptive power
to recreate. The seventh day Sabbath is a type of the
rest Jesus will
give His people in His kingdom. Mark 2.27,28; Col
1.15-17; Gen 2.1-3;
Heb 4.1-11.
HIS DEATH on
the cross was vicarious - in the place of another. He
willingly laid down
His life as a sacrifice for the sin of all people.
Accepting by faith
His perfectly obedient life and His substitutionary
death, any person
may be accounted righteous in God's sight. This is the
gospel. Isa 53.4-6;
John 10.17, 18; John 3.16.
HIS RESURRECTION
is
evidence that He has conquered death and hell. It is
the assurance given
to His people of being resurrected at His coming and
living with Him
throughout eternity. Rev. 1.17, 18; Rom 6.8-11; 1 Cor
15.12-19; John 14.1-3.
HIS SPIRIT,
as His representative on earth. is the agent of conversion.
Jesus lives in His
people through His Spirit and thereby enables them to
live victoriously,
experiencing the new birth which is an abundant life.
John 16.7-11; 3.3-8;
10.10.
HIS COMING to
this earth again is near. The same Jesus who walked the
roads of Palestine
will come literally, physically and visibly to all
people. His coming
will mark the end of this world and is the blessed
hope of His church.
Rev 22.20; 1.7; Matt 23.3-31; Acts 1.9-11; Tit 2.13.
HIS MISSION is
to take Himself in the form of His people to all the
inhabitants of this
world. His object is to give every man, woman, and
child the chance
of being saved in His kingdom and give to the world
through His church
a glorious display of the love of God. Matt 28.18-20;
1 John 4.7-21; Eph
3.9.10.
HIS INVITATION
is
for you. He wants to be the center of your life and
will be if you so
desire.
