Confessing the Father's Confession About the Son

When it comes to confessing the truth of the Christian faith, Christians are given the words. We don’t have to formulate them ourselves.
1517 is a Christian non-profit (501(c)3) multi-media organization. Our mission is to declare and defend the Good News that we are forgiven and free on account of the death and resurrection of Jesus alone.
