| God the eternal Son became incarnate in Jesus Christ.
Through Him all things were created, the character of God is revealed, the salvation of
humanity is accomplished, and the world is judged. Forever truly God, He became also truly
man, Jesus the Christ. He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He
lived and experienced temptation as a human being, but perfectly exemplified the
righteousness and love of God. By His miracles He manifested God's power and was attested
as God's promised Messiah. He suffered and died voluntarily on the cross for our sins and
in our place, was raised from the dead, and ascended to minister in the heavenly sanctuary
in our behalf. He will come again in glory for the final deliverance of His people and the
restoration of all things. . |
John 1:1-3, 14.
