Salvation
The Life, Death and Resurrection of Christ
What we believe
Through Christ’s obedient life, suffering, substitutionary death and bodily resurrection, God provided the only atonement for human sin. The cross reveals both the seriousness of sin and the grace of God, bringing forgiveness and reconciliation. The resurrection announces God’s victory over evil and assures believers of final victory over sin and death.
Our hope rests on a completed sacrifice and a living, risen Saviour.
