Jesus Christ is God

He is one with the Father and the Holy Spirit.  All that has been said of the Father may be said of the Son (John 1:1-3).

Jesus Christ was man

For the redemption of humanity He became a man.  (1) He was born of the Virgin Mary, having been conceived by the Holy Ghost (Matthew 1:18-21; Luke 1:26-35).  (2) He lived a sinless life, having been born without sin though in all other things He shared our humanity (John 8:46; Hebrews 4:15; 7:26-28).

Jesus Christ is our Savior

Of His own free will and volition He laid down His life and was crucified for our salvation.  He as our substitute went to the cross. He actually died for us (Romans 5:6-8; I Peter 2:24; 3:18).

Jesus Christ is alive

The third day He rose from the grave and showed himself to more than 500 witnesses (Matthew 28:5-6; Mark 16:6; Luke 24:5-6; John 20; Acts 2:22-24; I Corinthians 15:1-9).  Forty days later He ascended to heaven in the presence of many believers and is now sitting at the right hand of the Father interceding for us (Luke 24:50-51; Acts 1:9-11; 7:56; Hebrews 4:14-16).

Jesus Christ will return to earth

At the end of this age the coming of Jesus will be in two phases (Acts 1:11).  First, He will come to translate the Church to heaven and to himself (John 14:1-3; I Thessalonians 4:14-17; I John 3:1-3).  Second, He will come to judge the existing nations and set up His millennial kingdom of 1,000 years; therefore, His second coming will be premillennial (Matthew 25:31-46; Revelation 20:1-6).

Jesus Christ will be our judge

He will finally judge all mankind and all fallen spirits at the end of time (John 5:22-29; Revelation 20:7-15).
