Adventists believe that Jesus, the eternal Son of God, shares the divine nature with God the Father and is fully part of the Godhead. Jesus came to earth to live as our example, bear the punishment of our sins, and connect us with God the Father.

Now, as our advocate and High Priest, He continues to work for us in heaven. The Bible refers to Jesus as the "Son of God," not as a created being, but as one who possesses the same divine nature. Adventists view Him as our Creator, made flesh to reveal God’s character, and our Saviour, who died and resurrected to secure our salvation.

His ministry and sacrifice offer hope and redemption from sin. Jesus' life, death, and resurrection are central to Adventist faith, offering each believer the opportunity to choose eternal life.

Through studying His teachings and living by His example, believers find strength, hope, and assurance of a place in heaven.
