Q7 -- What must you BELIEVE about Jesus in order to be saved?

I believe that Jesus lived some 2000 years ago, and was an innocent victim of false accusations. As such he was killed and became an holy martyr, and no-one knows what happened to his body.

I believe that Jesus died on the cross, according to the merciful plan of God so that I might be able to repent and claim His sacrifice as payment for my past failures and sins. He was raised from the dead and sits at the right hand of God the Father, someday to return as King of all for eternity. As such I am his servant and must depart from my life of sin.

I believe that the story of Jesus Christ is a good moral story made up to urge people to live a better life.
