      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, He died and was buried.

      He descended into hell.

      The third day He rose again from the dead.

      He ascended into Heaven,

      and is seated at the right hand of God,

      the Father Almighty;

      from there He shall come to judge the living

      and the dead.

      I believe in the Holy Spirit;

      Christ's holy universal Church,

      the fellowship of Christians,

      the forgiveness of sins,

      the resurrection of the body,

      and the life everlasting.

      Amen.

      THE APOSTLES CREED

      "But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the Truth, to which He called you by our Gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by Word or our epistle. Now, may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, Who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope by grace, comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work." 2Thessalonians 2:13-17

      God has called us to salvation through sanctification by the Holy Spirit and belief in the truth. We are called to stand fast in this truth, and to hold fast to the apostolic traditions. When we understand the times, and rightly divide the Word of Truth, we will be more effective in God's service. When we know what we believe and why we believe it, and know how to defend it in argument, then we will be more effective in evangelism and discipleship.

      Always Ready

      We are commanded to: ...always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you... 1 Peter 3:15

      If you are asked, can you define the essentials of your faith?
