'''Christ''' is the Greek word for “[[Messiah]],”<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www. | '''Christ''' is the Greek word for “[[Messiah]],”<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+1%3A41&version=NIV |title=John 1:41 |publisher= }}</ref> meaning “the anointed one.” It refers to '''[[God in the Flesh (Incarnation)|God who came in the flesh]]''' for the salvation of humankind. In the [[Bible]], which testifies about the Savior,<ref name=":7">{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+5%3A39&version=NIV |title=John 5:39 |publisher= }}</ref> are the prophecies about Christ who comes to this earth. According to the prophecies, Jesus appeared 2,000 years ago as the Christ. Through His precious blood shed on the cross, [[Jesus Christ]] established the [[New Covenant|new covenant]] and granted the forgiveness of sins and eternal life to all people. After the Apostolic Age, however, the truth of the new covenant disappeared as the [[church]] went through secularization and the Dark Ages. The Bible prophesies the appearance of [[Second Coming Jesus (Second Coming Christ)|Second Coming Christ]], who will restore the new covenant and open the way to salvation again. | ||
