Because of sin and the consequence death of man i.e., a de-energized imago dei, God sent His Son, Jesus the Christ, into the world to save sinners and restore a broken primary relationship. This Jesus was a man, ‘homoousion hemin’, of the same reality as we are ourselves in our humanness. Jesus was the Christ, ‘homoousion to patri’, of the same reality as God in his divinity. When we see Jesus, we see the one who is both God and man.

This same Jesus overcame sin, death on a cross and hell by maintaining humility, obedience and faith in God the Father unto death. His death is the highest example of agape. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the confirmation that His existence was slavic for all men and authentic in relation to God the Father. Thus, Jesus not only shows the way for man to abridge his brokenness with God. Jesus, the Christ is the way.

Those who follow the way of Christ are called to go into the world and proclaim the good news (kerygma) that this same Jesus makes possible authentic being to all men. He does so through the church which is his body. The church is that assembly of men and women who through Christ seek to bring all things into unity and holiness with God.

Further, I agree with the fathers in worshipping one God in Trinity. There is one person the Father, the person of the Son, and the person of the Holy Spirit; but the Godhead of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit is all one. A God who is one in three and three in one, one substance and three persons.
