§601The Scriptures had foretold this divine plan of salvation through the putting to death of "the righteous one, my Servant" as a mystery of universal redemption, that is, as the ransom that would free men from the slavery of sin.397 Citing a confession of faith that he himself had "received", St. Paul professes that "Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures."398…
Continuation of the foregoing argument. Proofs from the writings of St. Paul, and from the words of Our Lord, that Christ and Jesus cannot be considered as distinct beings; neither can it be alleged that the Son of God became man merely in appearance, but that He did so truly and actually. 1. As it has been clearly demonstrated that the Word, who existed in the beginning with G…
Jesus Christ, who was of the seed of David, and was also of Mary; who was truly born, and did eat and drink. He was truly persecuted under Pontius Pilate; He was truly crucified, and truly died, in the sight of beings in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth. He was also truly raised from the dead, His Father quickening Him.
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary; suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. …
Who for us men, and for our salvation, came down and was incarnate and was made man; he suffered, and the third day he rose again, ascended into heaven; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
Q. Why was he buried? A. His burial testifies that he really died.
The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. The Scriptures declare: His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His substitutionary work on the cross, His bodily resurrection from the dead, and His exaltation to the right hand of God.
Suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.
The Apostles' Creed, as the Baptismal Symbol; and the Nicene Creed, as the sufficient statement of the Christian faith.
We believe that the salvation of sinners is wholly of grace, through the mediatorial offices of the Son of God; who by the appointment of the Father, freely took upon Him our nature, yet without sin; honored the divine law by His personal obedience, and by His death made a full atonement for our sins; that having risen from the dead, He is now enthroned in heaven; and uniting i…
Tertullian presents the Rule of Faith as a summary of apostolic teaching: belief in one God the Creator, in Jesus Christ His Son born of the Virgin, who suffered, died, was raised, and will return to judge. This rule is the benchmark against which all doctrines are tested. What agrees with it is true; what departs from it is heresy.

Cyril presents the ten chief doctrines that every baptismal candidate must know: God the Father, Christ the Son, the Holy Spirit, the Virgin Birth, the Crucifixion, the Burial, the Resurrection, the Ascension, the Judgment, and the one holy catholic Church. He insists that the faith must be learned precisely from Scripture and confessed exactly as received, without adding or su…
Christ truly suffered and truly died — the Cross is not a phantom but the instrument of our salvation. Cyril points to the very place of Golgotha, visible from where he preaches, as the physical evidence of Christ's real death. The wood of the Cross, the crown of thorns, and the tomb are all witnesses. He fulfilled Isaiah's prophecy of the Suffering Servant who was led like a s…
