Jesus Christ and his saving work
The second main emphasis in evangelical theology is on Jesus Christ and his saving work. At the point too, evangelicals stand wholly and intentionally within the tradition of the entire Christian church. They believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal son of God, who, for us and our salvation, became man and who through his suffering and death on the cross reconciled us with God. They insist that we may not give up any of the so-called saving facts the Virgin Birth, the Cross the Resurrection, the Ascension, session at God’s right hand and the second coming. With the Lausanne covenant they confess that there is only one redeemer and only one gospel.
The emphasis on the saving work of Christ is linked to a deep awareness of man. Such texts as Isa. 6:5, Luke 5:8.
They believe that Jesus Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, by becoming a curse in our stead (Gal.3:13). For the same reason, the ideal of substitution is a central tenet of their Christian faith.
