Read 1 Corinthians 15:3-6
I believe in God, the Father Almighty … and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord … I believe in the Holy Spirit …
The Creed’s purpose is basically to help us understand the identity of God. If God the Father is the creator, then I’m the creature; He is all-powerful and I am the dependent creation.
By stressing the significance of the incarnation, of Jesus’ life, and of His death and resurrection, the Creed not only reminds us of where our salvation comes from, but is also a map of how we can share the gospel – God created us, we strayed, and then He sent Jesus to save us. Now the Holy Spirit comes to live in all believers, and he is our comforter and guide, and also our strength.
