Article III: Of the Son of God.
Also they teach that the Word, that is, the
Son of God, did assume the human nature in the womb of the blessed
Virgin Mary, so that there are two natures, the divine and the human,
inseparably enjoined in one Person, one
Christ, true God and true man, who was born of the Virgin Mary, truly
suffered, was
crucified,
dead, and
buried, that He might
reconcile the Father unto us, and be a sacrifice, not only for original guilt, but also for all actual
sins of men
He also
descended into
hell, and truly rose again the third day; afterward He
ascended into
heaven that He might sit on the right hand of the
Father, and forever
reign and have
dominion over all creatures, and
sanctify them that
believe in Him, by sending the
Holy Ghost into their hearts, to rule, comfort, and
quicken them, and to defend them against the devil and the power of sin.
The same Christ shall openly come again to judge the quick and the dead, etc., according to the
Apostles' Creed.
