The Apostles' Creed
The Apostles' Creed in the second century when it appeared was called the Rule of Faith. Eighteen centuries later, it still is.
"When folk inquire into Christianity, their advisers naturally want to get them studying the Bible and to lead them into personal trust in the living Christ as soon as they can; and rightly so. But as means to both ends, it helps to take them through the Creed, as both a preliminary orientation to the Bible and a preliminary analysis of the conviction on which faith in Christ must rest."
(From the back cover of The Apostles Creed, by J. I. Packer, 1977)
The Apostles' Creed
I believe in God the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth;And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
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 sits on the right hand of God the Father almighty;
From thence he shall come to judge the living and the dead.I believe in the Holy Spirit;
The holy catholic church;
The communion of saints;
The forgiveness of sins;
The resurrection of the body,
And the life everlasting.
We have collected material and links (at introductory, intermediate and advanced levels of difficulty) to summarize the main points of Christian belief presented in the Creed.
