There is one God, existing eternally in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 2. Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin Mary and is fully God and fully man. He lived a sinless life, taught humans how to love and worship God, taught that he was the Truth and the Life and that no one comes to the Father except through Him. He was crucified, died and was buried and defeated death and sin and arose from the dead and thereby is the perfect sacrifice for the sin of all. However, salvation is only for those who choose to believe and accept His free gift. 3. The Holy Spirit indwells the believer, who among His many functions guides and empowers. 4. The Bible is inerrant and inspired by God (this course will use the KJ, NKJ, NIV, NAS as the definition of Bible).
