1. True Man: Jesus Our Brother – The sacred scriptures and
the constant teaching of the church are one in asserting that Jesus is trully a man. 2. True God: “ One Lord, Jesus, the Only Son of God” – The Christian faith stands or falls on the confession of Jesus as the only Son of God, our Lord. Scripture grounds this confession in two ways. First, Jesus as God’s Eternal Word coming down to take on human nature in the incarnation. Second, Jesus was “Lifted up” at the resurrection. 3. One: Jesus Is One Person – The Sacred Scriptures clearly affirm “ there is only one mediator between, God and men, the man, Christ Jesus, who gave himself as ransom for all. (1 Timothy 2:5)
