and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord: who was conceived by the Holy Ghost;
born of the virgin Mary; suffered under Pontius Pilate;
was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell;
the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven,
and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

What is a Creed?
• It’s a declaration of the Gospel, a statement of faith.
• It’s a symbol of the primary tenets of the Christian belief.
• It’s a summary of the important points of what we believe.
• No creed is complete.
![Page 16: The Apostles’ Creed… · 2017. 2. 9. · called Apostles’ Creed in 390 A.D. • By 8th century, the Apostles’ Creed congealed into the form we have today although not word](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022071104/5fdd72ab2cb1123a817caab1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What is a Creed?
• It’s a memory tool for teaching and communicating our belief.
• It’s the response to the living faith and experience behind the words.
• Creeds answer questions about a time in history where the life of the church was threatened.
![Page 17: The Apostles’ Creed… · 2017. 2. 9. · called Apostles’ Creed in 390 A.D. • By 8th century, the Apostles’ Creed congealed into the form we have today although not word](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022071104/5fdd72ab2cb1123a817caab1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• There were precursors to the Apostles’ Creed (‘The Rule of Faith” & “Old Roman Symbol”). It was first called Apostles’ Creed in 390 A.D.
• By 8th century, the Apostles’ Creed congealed into the form we have today although not word for word.
• The Apostles’ Creed is used by many Protestant and Roman Catholic denominations, but not all of them.
• Legend has it that it was written by the Apostles. This is not true, but it reflected the apostles’ teachings that were based in Scripture.

I believe… What does it mean to say “I believe”?
When you say, “I believe in God”, you affirm the truths about God and
affirm your personal, living relationship with God.
Saying “I believe” is a form of praise and worship!

God extended an invitation to you to have and develop a relationship, and you have accepted.
When you say “I believe”, you begin your journey to becoming more Christ-like.

I believe in God the Father…
What is the definition of “Father”?1. Paternity, person responsible for the physical
existence of a child. The ancient world only saw this definition.
2. The person with the relationship of love, caring, and provision for a child. Jesus brought this idea to the people.

I believe in God the Father…
What is the Christian thought about the Father?
1. Paternity: Father God is the source, origin, & goal of life.
2. Fatherhood: We have an intimate and loving relationship with the Father.
3. Love: The Father’s love is unwavering, steadfast, gracious, and inclusive. The Father loves each person as if there were only one of us.

4. Giving: The Father gave His only Son for us.

I believe in God the Father Almighty…
When we speak of the Almighty, we talk
about the Father’s power to do anything
to accomplish the Father’s will.

or inconsistent.4. pardon sin without atonement.5. fail to keep all the promises He made.6. die because God is the source of life.7. be imperfect.

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven
and Earth…
What was the Father’s role in the creation of both heaven and earth?

Revelation 10:6) and owner of creation.
(Psalm 50:10)

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven
and Earth…
Why was “Maker of Heaven and Earth” included in the Apostles’ Creed?
Reason #1: It helps us not to get the wrong impression about who God is.
We were made in God’s image not vice versa.We depend on God and not vice versa.
We exist by God’s will and not vice versa.

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven
and Earth…
Why was “Maker of Heaven and Earth” included in the Apostles’ Creed?

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven
and Earth…
Why was “Maker of Heaven and Earth” included in the Apostles’ Creed? Reason #3: It helps us not to get the wrong impression about ourselves.
We did not create ourselves and thus we are not our own masters.
We serve God!
