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. (
