God: The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit

This article presents a detailed look at the understanding of God: The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit in the Holy Bible.

We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal in power, glory, and essence, yet distinct in their roles within creation, redemption, and sanctification.
Scripture References: Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14.

God the Father

We believe in God the Father, the Creator and Sustainer of all things, who is sovereign, holy, and just. He loves His creation and draws people to Himself through His Son, offering forgiveness and eternal life.
Scripture References: Genesis 1:1; Psalm 103:13; John 3:16; Isaiah 64:8; Matthew 6:9; 1 Corinthians 8:6; Ephesians 1:3–5.

God the Son: The Lord Jesus Christ

We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, God’s eternal Son, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. Fully God and fully man, He lived a sinless life, was crucified for the sins of the world, rose bodily from the dead, and ascended to heaven where He intercedes for us.
Scripture References: John 1:1–14; Luke 1:26–38; Romans 5:8; 1 Corinthians 15:3–4; Acts 1:9–11.

Incarnation:

We believe Jesus, in the Incarnation, took on human flesh to redeem humanity.
Scripture References: John 1:14Philippians 2:6–8; Luke 1:34–35

The Virgin Birth

We believe that Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, a miraculous act that affirms His divinity and humanity.
Scripture References: Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 1:26-38.

Sinless Life

Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God and the second person of the Trinity, lived a perfect, sinless life in complete obedience to the will of the Father, empowered by the Holy Spirit. Conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, He was fully God and fully man, free from the inherited sin of Adam and without any sin of His own. Jesus’s sinless life demonstrated His divine nature and qualified Him to be the spotless Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. His perfect obedience fulfilled the righteous requirements of the law on behalf of humanity and confirmed His unity with the Father and the Spirit in the work of redemption. Jesus’s sinlessness is central to His role as the perfect mediator between God and humanity, the one who reconciles us to God through His sacrificial death and victorious resurrection.
Scripture References: John 1:1-2, John 1:14, Matthew 1:18-23, Hebrews 4:15, 2 Corinthians 5:21, 1 Peter 2:22, John 5:19, Matthew 3:16-17, John 10:30, 1 John 3:5, John 14:6.

Crucifixion and Atonement

We believe Jesus’ sacrificial death on the cross was the atonement for sin, reconciling us to God.
Scripture References: Isaiah 53:5–6; Romans 3:23–25; 2 Corinthians 5:21.

Resurrection and Ascension

We believe Jesus rose bodily from the dead, proving His victory over sin and death, and ascended to heaven, where He reigns with the Father.
Scripture References: 1 Corinthians 15:3–4; Acts 1:9–11; Hebrews 7:25.

Second Coming

We believe Jesus will return bodily and visibly to judge the living and the dead, to establish His kingdom, and to make all things new.
Scripture References: Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17; Revelation 22:12–13.

God the Holy Spirit​

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, who convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. He regenerates and sanctifies believers, indwells them, and empowers them with spiritual gifts for service and witness. He is at work guiding the believers into all truth and enabling them to live holy and fruitful lives.
Scripture References: John 16:8–13; Titus 3:5; 1 Corinthians 12:4–11; Acts 1:8; John 16:13; Galatians 5:22–23.
