This document summarizes key beliefs of Christianity including: - God exists as the Holy Trinity of three persons in one God and created the universe. - Jesus is the divine Son of God who had a true human nature and sacrificed himself on the cross for humanity's salvation. - Jesus rose from the dead on the third day and ascended to heaven, and will return to judge humanity. - The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, and believers will be judged after death and resurrected with their souls reunited to their bodies.

2. This affirms that God
exists, that He's a Triune
God (one God in three
persons, known as the
Holy Trinity), and that He
created the known
universe.

3. This attests that Jesus
is the Son of God
and that He's most
certainly divine. The
word “Lord” implies
divinity.

4. This affirms the human
nature of Christ,
meaning he had a
real, true human
mother. He is therefore
considered both God
and man by Christians
– fully divine and fully
human.

5. The human nature of
Christ could feel pain
and actually die, and
He did on Good
Friday. On that day,
He sacrificed Himself
on the Cross for our
redemption and
eternal salvation.

6. “Hell” was merely a
word that Jews and
early Christians used to
describe the place of
the dead. This passage
affirms that on the third
day he rose, meaning
Jesus came back from
the dead of His own
divine power.

7. The Ascension
reminds the faithful
that the human and
divine natures of
Christ could never
be separated. Now,
Jesus sits at the right
hand, the place of
honour and power.

8. This article affirms the
Second Coming of
Christ at the end of
the world to be its
judge. All will go
before the Throne of
Christ and will render
an account of their
deeds.

9. This article affirms the
existence of the Holy
Spirit, the Third Person
of the Most Holy
Trinity. He is distinct
from the Father and
the Son, but is one in
essence.

10. We believe that the
Church is more than a
mere institution. It's an
essential dimension
and aspect of spiritual
life. And we are
united with the Saints
in Heaven and the
souls in Purgatory.

11. Christ came to save
the world from sin.
Belief in the
forgiveness of sins is
essential. We believe
that sins are forgiven
in Baptism and in the
Sacrament of
Penance.

12. Death is just the
momentary
separation of body
and soul. On the
Second Coming of
Christ, all of the
dead will be raised,
with their body and
soul reunited.

13. As Christ Our Savior
died, so, too, must
mere mortals. As
he rose, so shall all
human beings.
Death is the only
way to cross from
this life into the
next.
