Holy Trinity

God exists in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is “Immanuel,” which means “God with us.”  Both divine and human, He is the only mediator between God (The Father) and humankind.  Jesus Christ is God’s eternal Son who allowed Himself to be born of the virgin Mary.  Conceived in Mary’s womb through the Holy Spirit, Christ’s humanity comes through the human origin of His mother.  God wants to have a loving personal relationship with each of us.  And Jesus Christ is the way to accomplish this.  He is “the way and the truth and the life;” no one comes to the Father except through Him; no other intermediary is authentic.  Jesus Christ lived a sinless life, atoned for our sins through His death on the cross, and bodily arose from the dead.  He is now with God the Father in heaven carrying out His mediation ministry on our behalf.  One day He will personally return to fully establish His Kingdom on earth.  When our Lord (Jesus Christ) returns, we will all be raised, the just and unjust, and be judged for eternal reward or retribution. It is the deity and personality of the Holy Spirit who convinces people of sin, righteousness and judgment; who regenerates, sanctifies, illuminates and comforts those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.  The personal counsel of the Holy Spirit enables us to live obedient, creative, victorious lives.
