In short that Jesus Christ is God who came in the flesh for us and our salvation. He suffered and died for our sins and rose from the dead.
If we repent, are baptized and believe in Him we can have eternal life with Him in His Kingdom. However, we must also follow His commandment to love one another. We recieve the Holy Spirit through our acceptance of Christ and we receive the Body and Blood of Christ through the Eucharist.

What do we have to believe about Him Wag? I think THAT is the key :)

Actually this is law and not grace.. the law is do, the gospel is done.. We keep His commandments not to be saved, but because we are saved.
