We confess Jesus as the Christ, the Messiah
We accept Jesus Christ as the Savior of the world
We acknowledge Jesus Christ as the only Son of God
We recognize Jesus Christ at the head of the Church
We worship Jesus Christ as the one whom God has exalted
— Article 2, p. 13-14

The Lord has heard my supplication; the Lord accepts my prayer. — Psalm 6:9
