Christians
believe that Jesus Christ was and is the expression of God the Father in
human form. The incarnation, that is, the coming of Christ among us as a
man, demonstrates that God is intimately concerned with all human
experiences, both the good and the bad.
The Christian
faith places great importance on the created order of the universe, which
reflects both the purpose and the character of God. The gift of God to all
people is freedom of choice, but this expression of Fatherly love was also
a risk. Humankind chose to follow its own paths.
Through his
ministry, death and resurrection, Jesus made possible the reconciliation of
God and humankind.
God sends his
Holy Spirit to be a guide and teacher to us all. It is the presence of the
Holy Spirit which Christians believe supports and leads the Church in its
mission to share the Good News of Jesus Christ.
