Jesus is the central figure of Christianity, the second person of the Godhead. Existing from eternity, His incarnation brings salvation to humanity through His death on the cross of Calvary. In an act of supreme love, He became sin, taking upon Himself all the sins of everyone who has ever lived or will live. JTL10 1.6
As our Creator, Christ brought us into existence. As our Redeemer and sin-bearer, He has bound us to Himself by ties that can never be broken except by our own choice. Jesus, the God-Man, is the most direct and understandable revelation of God given to humanity. JTL10 2.1
