A summary of the beliefs of the Christadelphians

statement of.faith (continued)

XI.—That the message he delivered from God to his kinsmen, the Jews, was a call to repentance from every evil work, the assertion of his divine sonship and Jewish kingship; and the proclamation of and accomplish all things written in the prophets.—Mark 1:15; Matthew 4:17; 5:20–48; John 10:36; 9:35; 11:27; 19:21; 1:49; Matthew 27:11–42; John 10:24, 25; Matthew 19:28; 21:42, 43; 23:38, 39; 25:14–46; Luke 4:43; 13:27–30; 19:11–27; 22:28–30; Matthew 5:17; Luke 24:44.

XII.—That for delivering this message, he was put to death by the Jews and Romans, who were, however, but instruments in the hands of God, for the doing of that which He had determined before to be done, viz., the condemnation of sin the flesh, through the offering of the body of Jesus once for all, as propitiation to declare the righteousness of God, as a basis for the remission of sins. All who approach God through this crucified, but risen, representative of Adam’s disobedient race, are forgiven. Therefore, by a figure, his blood cleanseth from sin.—Luke 19:47; 20:1–16; John 11:45–53; Acts 10:38, 39; 13:26–29; 4:27, 28; Romans 8:3; Hebrews 10:10; Acts 13:38; 1 John 1:7; John 14:6; Acts 4:12; 1 Peter 3:18; 2:24; Hebrews 9:14; 7:27; 9:26–28; Galatians 1:4; Romans 3:25; 15:8; Galatians 3:21, 22; 2:21; 4:4, 5; Hebrews 9:15; Luke 22:20; 24:26, 46, 47; Matthew 26:28.

XIII.—That on the third day, God raised him from the dead, and exalted him to the heavens as priestly mediator between God and man, in the process of gathering from among them a people who should be saved by the belief and obedience of the truth.—1 Corinthians 15:4; Acts 10:40; 13:30–37; 2:24–27.
