Christ is the eternal Son of God. In His incarnation as Jesus Christ He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary Luke 1:35. Jesus never sinned. He honored the divine law by His personal obedience, and in His substitutionary death on the cross He made provision for the redemption of men from sin Romans 3:24; Ephesians 1:7. He was raised from the dead with a glorified body and appeared to His disciples as the person who was with them before His crucifixion. He ascended into heaven and is now exalted at the right hand of God where He is the One Mediator, fully God, fully man, in whose Person is effected the reconciliation between God and man. He will return in power and glory to judge the world and to consummate His redemptive mission. He now dwells in all believers as the living and ever present Lord 2 Timothy 4:1.
