Foundations of our Faith
#5 The Work of Christ.

“We believe that Jesus Christ, as our representative and substitute, shed His blood on the cross as the perfect, all-sufficient sacrifice for our sins. His atoning death and victorious resurrection constitute the only ground for salvation.”

1. Jesus represents all humans and is our substitute. (Mark 10:45; Heb 2:16-17; Heb 7:27; 1 Pet 2:24; Heb 4:15; Heb 9:22)

 2. Jesus' sacrifice was complete. (Lev 17:11; Heb 2:17; John 1:29; Gal 3:13; 1 John 3:5)

 
 3. Jesus paid it all. There's no other way to be rescued from our sin's consequences. (2 Cor 5:21; 1 John 2:2; Rom 5:9; Eph 2:4-5; Col 1:13; Rom 5:10-11; Col 2:13-15; Heb 2:14-15; Eph 1:13-14; Rom 5:6-8; 1 Cor 15:21-22; 1 Cor 15:57; Acts 16:31)
