OUR FAITH PAGE 3 Jesus Christ is God incarnate. He was born of a virgin. He lived a sinless life. He died on the cross in the place of the sinner, and His shed blood is the atonement for our sins. Jesus rose from the dead, and ascended to the right hand of God, and He will make a personal return to earth in power and glory.
John 20:28 (NIV)28Thomas said to him, "My Lord and my God!" Isaiah 9:6,7 (NIV)6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 7Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this. Hebrews 1:1-3 (NIV)1In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. 3The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. Isaiah 7:14 (NIV)14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. Hebrews 7:26 (NIV)26Such a high priest meets our need—one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens. 1 John 2:2 (NIV)2He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. 2 Corinthians 5:21 (NIV)21God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 1 Corinthians 15:3-5 (NIV)3For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. Acts 1:9-11 (NIV)9After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight. 10They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. 11"Men of Galilee," they said, "why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven." Matthew 25:21 (NIV)21"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!' |
