Basic #2: Jesus Christ

So, here's basic #2 for you!
"I believe in Jesus Christ, the Word of God become flesh. He is the Savior of the world, who has delivered us from the dominion of sin and reconciled us to God by humbling himself and becoming obedient unto death on a cross. He was declared to be Son of God with power by his resurrection from the dead. He is the Head of the Church, the Exalted Lord, the Lamb who was Slain, coming again to reign with God in glory. "No other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ." (Again, taken from the Mennonite Perspective book.)

In other words: Jesus is God in the form of a person, yet He is/was all person and all God in the same being. Jesus died on the cross for everyone because He knew that we couldn't be perfect on our own. By believing that Jesus died for your sins, you don't face eternal damnation in hell, but get to spend eternity with Him in Heaven. Also as a Christian, your perspective on things shifts from "What does this World want from me?" to "What does God want for me to do for this world?" Nobody else can save humanity other than Jesus. He is the Cornerstone of the church and of grace.
