Belief in Christ
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He was the Creator, He is our Saviour, and He will be our Judge. Under the direction of Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ created the earth (John 1:10, Hebrews 1:2). When Jesus lived on the earth (approximately 2,000 years ago), He led a perfect life. He taught by word and example how people should live in love of God and others. Through His suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane and by giving His life on the cross—that is, by performing the Atonement—Jesus Christ saved all of us from our sins as we follow Him. Because of the Atonement, we can be forgiven of our sins when we sincerely repent. Through His Resurrection, Jesus Christ saved us from death. Because He overcame death, we will all be given the gift of resurrection (Acts 24:15, 1 Corinthians 15:22). When life on this earth is over, Jesus Christ will be our Judge (Acts 10:42, Acts 17:31).
