2. Dieu le P\u00e8re, le Fils et le Saint-Esprit | God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fran\u00e7ais<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nous proclamons qu’il y a un seul Dieu en trois personnes, infiniment distinctes et parfaites : le P\u00e8re, le Fils et le Saint-Esprit, qui a cr\u00e9\u00e9 le ciel, la terre et tout ce qui existe.<\/p>\n

R\u00e9f\u00e9rence : 2 Corinthiens 13:14<\/p>\n

English<\/strong><\/p>\n

We proclaim that there is one God in three persons, infinitely distinct and perfect: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, who created heaven, earth, and everything that exists.<\/p>\n

Reference: 2 Corinthians 13:14<\/p>\n

3. Dieu le P\u00e8re | God the Father<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fran\u00e7ais<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nous croyons que le P\u00e8re, premi\u00e8re personne de la Trinit\u00e9, est Dieu. Il est infini, \u00e9ternel et immuable dans tous ses attributs.<\/p>\n

R\u00e9f\u00e9rence : Deut\u00e9ronome 6:4<\/p>\n

English<\/strong><\/p>\n

We believe that the Father, the first person of the Trinity, is God. He is infinite, eternal, and unchanging in all His attributes.<\/p>\n

4. J\u00e9sus-Christ | Jesus Christ<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vrai Dieu et vrai homme, il a \u00e9t\u00e9 crucifi\u00e9 et est mort sur la croix pour nos p\u00e9ch\u00e9s. Il est ressuscit\u00e9 le troisi\u00e8me jour et est mont\u00e9 au ciel. Il est maintenant assis \u00e0 la droite du P\u00e8re et reviendra pour \u00e9tablir son royaume de paix et de justice.<\/p>\n

Nous croyons que l’homme a \u00e9t\u00e9 cr\u00e9\u00e9 \u00e0 l’image et \u00e0 la ressemblance de Dieu. Par sa d\u00e9sob\u00e9issance, il a connu la mort physique et spirituelle. Tous les \u00eatres humains naissent avec une nature p\u00e9cheresse et ont besoin d’\u00eatre r\u00e9g\u00e9n\u00e9r\u00e9s par l’\u0153uvre expiatoire de J\u00e9sus-Christ.<\/p>\n
