Divine Trinity

I. God, the Father

We believe that God, the Father, is the first person set forth in the Divine Trinity; that He is Almighty, merciful, and just; that He is holy, righteous, and true; that He is eternally existent, glorious in nature, possessing the attributes of ominipotence, omniscience, and ominpresence; and that HE, in harmony with His divine office, loves, provides, and protects, thus exercising providential watch over the sons of men, and especially a fatherly care over the children of God.

II. God, the Son – Virgin Born

We believe that God, the Son, is the second person set forth in the Divine Trinity; that He is Very God of Very God; that He is Almighty, merciful, and just; that He is holy, righteous, and true; that He is eternally existent, glorious in nature, possessing the attributes of omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence; that God, the Father, through the Holy Spirit is actually and eternally His divine Father, and Mary, the virgin, is actually and innocently His human mother: and; that He, in harmony with His divine office, meditates, seeks, and saves, thus exercising the mediatorial office of redemption.
