Statement of Faith

3. The Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ

The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. The Scriptures declare:

(a) His virgin birth

"'The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel'[a]—which means, 'God with us.'" (Matthew 1:23)

"'You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus.'...'You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus.'" (Luke 1:31, 34-35)

(b) His sinless life

"Such a high priest meets our need—one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens." (Hebrews 7:26)

""He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth." (1 Peter 2:22)

"For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin." (Hebrews 4:15)

(c) His miracles

""Men of Israel, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know. (Acts 2:22)

"...how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him." (Acts 10:38)

(d) His substitutionary work on the cross

"For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance[a]: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures," (1 Corinthians 15:3)

"God made him who had no sin to be sin[a] for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." (2 Corinthians 5:21)

(e) His bodily resurrection from the dead

"He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay." (Matthew 28:6)

"Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have." (Luke 24:39)

"...that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures," (1 Corinthians 15:4)

(f) His exaltation to the right hand of God

"After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight..."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."" (Acts 1:9,11)

"Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear." (Acts 2:33)

"Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." (Philippians 2:9-11)

"The 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." (Hebrews 1:3)

(g) His second coming

"And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming." (1 John 2:28)
