One of the 28
Fundamental Beliefs of the
00:00:07.06\00:00:10.38
Seventh Day Adventist
Church is the life, death,
00:00:10.41\00:00:13.82
and resurrection of Christ.
00:00:13.85\00:00:15.77
In Christ's life of
perfect obedience to God's will
00:00:15.80\00:00:19.81
His suffering
death and resurrection,
00:00:19.84\00:00:22.26
God provided the only
means of atonement for human sin
00:00:22.29\00:00:27.29
so that those who by
faith accept this atonement
00:00:27.33\00:00:31.30
may have eternal life, and
the whole creation may better
00:00:31.33\00:00:34.87
understand the infinite
and holy love of the Creator.
00:00:34.90\00:00:38.81
This perfect atonement
vindicates the righteousness
00:00:38.84\00:00:42.28
of God's law and the
graciousness of His character
00:00:42.31\00:00:45.47
for it both condemns our sin and
provides for our forgiveness.
00:00:45.50\00:00:50.34
The death of
Christ is substitutionary
00:00:50.37\00:00:54.59
and expiatory,
reconciling and transforming.
00:00:54.62\00:00:58.01
The resurrection of
Christ proclaims God's triumph
00:00:58.04\00:01:01.20
over the forces of evil and for
those who accept the atonement
00:01:01.23\00:01:05.04
assures their final
victory over sin and death,
00:01:05.07\00:01:08.09
it declares the
Lordship of Jesus Christ.
