Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God who became truly human. Christians confess him as fully God and fully human—not a man who eventually became God, and not God merely appearing to be human.
Why did Jesus have to die for our sins?
Jesus died because our sin is a real offense against the holy God, and God chose to save us through the self-giving sacrifice of his Son.
What reasons are there to believe Jesus rose from the dead?
Christian belief in Jesus’ resurrection is a claim about something that happened in history: Jesus, who truly died, was raised bodily to a new and indestructible life. It is not simply a way of saying that his teaching survived or that his followers felt his presence.
What is a disciple, and how is discipleship different from simply knowing Christian teachings?
A disciple is someone who trusts Jesus Christ and learns to follow him. Christian teaching matters deeply, but discipleship involves our whole life: what we believe, whom we love, how we live, and how we help others.
Can God forgive me—even for things I deeply regret?
Yes. God’s offer of forgiveness in Jesus Christ is for people with real sins, not merely people with minor mistakes.
Is Jesus the only way to God, and what about people who have never heard of him?
Christians believe that Jesus is the only Savior because Scripture presents him as the one who reconciles sinful people to God through his death and resurrection.
How can I know that I belong to Christ?
The foundation of assurance is Jesus Christ and his promise—not the strength of your emotions or the perfection of your behavior.
Can I trust the Bible, and how did we get it?
Yes. Christians receive the Bible as God’s trustworthy Word, given through human authors so that we may know him, understand his saving work, and learn to live before him.
What is the gospel, and why is it good news?
The gospel is the good news of what God has done through Jesus Christ to save us from sin and bring us into life with himself.
