Article V – God, the Son

We believe Jesus the Christ to be the only begotten son of God.¹  He was and is the Word of God and was one with the Father from the beginning.²  Through Him were all things made that were made.³  He being one with the Father from the beginning became flesh through Mary the virgin.⁴  As man, He walked this earth without sin, perfect in all ways.⁵  During His life, He demonstrated the nature, divinity and love of the Father.⁶  Through His sinless life, His death on the cross, His burial and His resurrection He accomplished the redemption of all that will believe on His name.⁷  He is now seated at the right hand of the Father in Heaven until the time of His return.⁸
