We confess Jesus Christ as very God and very Man, of the same essence as the Father and Spirit, who reconciles us in every way to the Father in his incarnation, obedience, death, resurrection, and ascension.  We believe Jesus Chris is the eternal Word made flesh. With God and as God before the incarnation, he became human without ceasing to be divine. In doing so, he brought God’s fullness into our fallen condition, redeeming our fallen condition from within God’s perfect union with humanity. Living in perfect obedience, Christ died for our sins, rose bodily, and now reigns as Lord. As our vicarious representative, he responds to the Father on our behalf and draws us into communion with him. In Christ, the face of God turns toward us in grace—in his face we behold the very being of God.
