The name “Seventh-day” refers to the biblical Sabbath, Saturday, ordained by God at Creation. Adventist” refers to the return, or second advent, of Jesus Christ.
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 and lived a sinless life in accordance with the Father’s will. As an adult, Jesus was crucified for the sins of the people of the world and rose from the dead on the third day, winning victory over sin 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.
Adventists believe that God is concerned with the quality of human life, and that everything—the way we live, eat, speak, think, treat each other, and care for the world around us—is important to Him.
