We believe in the identification of Jesus Christ as the impeccable (able not to sin and not able to sin) Son of God and God the Son (Matt. 16:13-16; John 10:36); His incarnation (Heb. 10:5); that he was begotten of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary (Isa. 7:14; Matt. 1:18-25); his vicarious atonement for the sins of the world (Isa. 53:1-12; John 3:16; Gal. 4:4-5), the resurrection of his body from the tomb (Matt. 28:5-7; Luke 24:46; I Cor. 15:3-4); his ascension into heaven (Mark 16:19; Luke 24:51), as our High Priest (Heb. 4:14-16) and Advocate (I John 2:1-2), before the throne of God (Heb. 1:3; Rev. 3:21); that he is both God (Isa. 9:6; Phil. 2:6) and man (Matt. 20:28; Phil. 2:7-8), the two natures being inseparably united in one glorious Person without sin; and that he is the only sufficient mediator between God and humanity (I Tim. 2:5-6).
