The Redemptive work of Christ

The Journal Prompt:

Write a brief confession or affirmation of faith that expresses in concise form the essentials of our Wesleyan-Holiness perspective on God and salvation—the focus here is on God’s redemptive work.

God created all things, including humans in his own image. Sin entered the world and distorted the relationship between God and man. God longed to be reconcile with humanity, and sent his son, Jesus Christ, in the midst of our sin to act as a sacrifice to reconcile us from our sin. Because of Christ's sacrifice of redemption, we have an opportunity to live in right relationship with God and a hope for eternal life, the best life possible.
