Page "Christadelphians" Paragraph 49

Christadelphians believe that Jesus is the promised Jewish Messiah, in whom the prophecies and promises of the Old Testament find their fulfilment.

They believe he is the Son of Man, in that he inherited human nature ( with its inclination to sin ) from his mother, and the Son of God by virtue of his miraculous conception by the power of God.

Although he was tempted, Jesus committed no sin, and was therefore a perfect representative sacrifice to bring salvation to sinful humankind.

They believe that God raised Jesus from death and gave him immortality, and he ascended to Heaven, God's dwelling place.

Christadelphians believe that he will return to the earth in person to set up the Kingdom of God in fulfilment of the promises made to Abraham and David.

This includes the belief that the coming Kingdom will be the restoration of God's first Kingdom of Israel, which was under David and Solomon.

For Christadelphians, this is the focal point of the gospel taught by Jesus and the apostles.
