The Symbol of Faith

I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only-Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. Light of Light, true God of true God, begotten, not made, of one essence with the Father, through Whom all things were made. Who for us men and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate from the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became man. He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered, and was buried. And He rose on the third day, according to the Scriptures. And He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. And He will come again with glory, to judge the living and the dead, and of His kingdom there will be no end. And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, and Creator of Life, Who proceeds from the Father, Who together with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified, Who has spoken through the prophets. And in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. I look forward to the resurrection of the dead; and the life of the age to come. Amen. |
The Faith-N-Worship section is still under development. But the best statement of our faith in God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit - is summarized in the Symbol of Faith which we commonly call the Creed. The first part of the Creed was written during the First Ecumenical Council held in Nicea, Asia Minor, in A.D. 325.The second part of the Creed (beginning with "I believe in the Holy Spirit....") was written during the Second Ecumenical Council held in Constantinople in A.D. 381. The Creed is proclaimed during every Divine Liturgy. |
