We believe Jesus Christ is the image of the invisible God, which is to say, He is Himself very God; He took upon Him our nature, being conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the virgin Mary; He died upon the cross as a substitutionary sacrifice for the sins of the world; He arose from the dead in the body in which He was crucified yet glorified; He ascended into heaven in that glorified body, where He is now, our interceding High Priest; He will come again personally and visibly to set up His kingdom and to judge the living and the dead.
