The Apostles' Creed (Part 1)
They continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship,
and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
Acts 2:42
Today's Bible Reading: Acts 2:42-47.
The Apostles’ Creed is not found in the Bible. The Apostles’ Creed was not written by the apostles. Rather, it was written at least 150 years after the apostles had all died. It is called the Apostles’ Creed because it is a record of what the apostles taught. The Apostles' Creed is as follows:
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
the Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord:
Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended into hell.
The third day He arose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven
and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty,
whence He shall come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy universal church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting. Amen.
The Apostles' Creed is a good summary of Christian doctrine.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your Apostle and for all missionaries, and evangelists, Sunday School teachers, minister and preachers down through the years, who have faithfully told others the Good News of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
