Adventists believe a Trinity of three persons--the Father, the Son and the
Holy Spirit--make up one God. They made salvation
possible when Jesus, the Son, came to earth as a baby in Bethlehem and
lived a sinless life in accordance with the Father's will. When Jesus was
crucified for the sins of the people of the world and arose from the dead
on the third day, victory was won for everyone.
When He
returned to heaven following the resurrection, Jesus left the Holy Spirit
to serve as our Comforter and Counselor. He promised to return to earth a
second time to complete His plan of salvation and take His people to
heaven. Adventists are among the believers who look forward to that day.

to Him
