Jesus lived as a human made in God’s image without the corruption of sin so that he could restore the image of God in our humanity.

Because he is both fully God and fully human, having two distinct natures in his one person.

God sent his Son, Jesus of Nazareth, to rescue Israel and the world from the power of sin and death.

Jesus is God’s eternal Son and Israel’s Messiah, the promised Savior. Through Jesus, we know who God is.

First, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.” Second, “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

God promised that a Savior, His Son, would defeat evil and rescue his creation from the power of sin and death.

Our sin has separated us from God and brought us under corruption, guilt and God’s holy wrath.

Sin causes humanities relationship with God to be broken. Sin brings guilt, shame and death into our lives, making us unworthy before God, who is perfect.

Sin means to miss the mark of perfection. None of us are perfect, therefore we all sin. Sin is also loving anything more than God. It is thinking, speaking, or acting in ways that are against God’s best for us.

No. They sinned against God by rebelling and worshipping idols rather than the One who created them.
