ARTICLE III- GOD THE SON

REDEMPTIONCORPS INTERNATIONAL believes, proclaims and teaches: Jesus Christ is God in human flesh, the Second Person of the Trinity, divine, even as God the Father and God the Holy Spirit are. He was born of a virgin and thus incarnated in flesh. He lived a sinless life and is the only Saviour of all mankind by His death, burial and resurrection. He actually resurrected physically from the dead, ascended into Heaven, and is now the believers’ Great High Priest and intercessor.

Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. - Hebrews 10:5-7 KJV 

Jesus became sin for our sake - Jesus Made us the righteousness of God. Jesus is our Sin offering, the Propitiation for our sins. He is our Apostle and High Priest of our profession (our first declaration that Jesus Christ is Lord).

He is the Word made flesh. Jesus IS the Word of God, our Redeemer, our Savior, our King, our Ruler. The exact representation of the Father and Firstborn of every creature.

The Father created everything by Him and for Him. Jesus is a merciful and compassionate High Priest and able to give assistance and support in times of hardship and distress.

Hebrews 10:11-14

(Jesus: our Sin offering )

And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:

But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.

For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

John 1:1-5, 14 

(Jesus is the Word of God)

In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not…

…And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

Hebrews 2:17-18

For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
