Jesus Christ is completely human but at the same time completely God. He is the only way to bring back people who are stray from God back into a right relationship with God. He lived a perfect life so he could become our perfect substitute in satisfying God's demand for perfection. He conquered death in His resurrection so we could have life.

Eternity
​
Man was created to exist forever. He will exist either separated from God by sin or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation. Hell is to be eternally separated from God. Heaven is to be eternally in union with Him. Heaven and hell are places of eternal existence.

​
Man
​
Man was made in the image of God and is the supreme object of His creation. Man was created to have a partnership with God but separated from that relationship because of disobedience caused by sin. As a result, man can't have a relationship with God through his own effort. Every human personality is created unique, possesses dignity and is deserving of respect and Christian love.
