God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe.
He has eternally existed as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The three are coequal and are one God.

2 Corinthians 13:14
Jesus is the Son of God.
Jesus came to earth through a virgin birth taking on human form for the purpose of redeeming mankind’s sin. His sin-free life and death on a cross provided the way of redemption. His bodily resurrection provided the authority for Him to offer eternal life to all who would believe. He is currently at the right hand of the Father interceding on our behalf. One day He will return to take those who are alive and have believed in Him. At the end of the world, He will judge all humanity as to their faith in Him.
