"What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us." - A.W. Tozer
Jesus
The Bible
The Trinity
Jesus Christ is God the Son, the second person of the Trinity. On earth, Jesus was 100% God and 100% man. He is the only man ever to have lived a sinless life. He was born of a virgin, performed miracles, died on the cross for mankind, and thus atoned for our sins through the shedding of His blood. He rose from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures, ascended to the right hand of the Father, and will return again in power and glory.

The Holy Bible, and only the Bible, is the authoritative Word of God. it alone is the final authority in determining all doctrinal truths. in its original writing, it is inspired, infallible, and inerrant.
