Apostles' Creed
Apostles' Creed
1. I believe in God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth
Genesis 2:4 This is the account of the heavens and the
earth when they were created, when the Lord God made the
earth and the heavens.
2. And in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord
John 3:16 For
God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes
in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
3. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary
Matthew 1:20
But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a
dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as
your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
Luke 2:7 And
she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed
him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.
4. Suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead and buried: He descended
into hell
John 19:5-12
5 When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the
purple robe, Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!”
6 As soon as the chief priests and their officials saw him,
they shouted, “Crucify! Crucify!”
But Pilate answered, “You take him and crucify him. As for me, I find no
basis for a charge against him.”
7 The Jewish leaders insisted, “We have a law, and
according to that law he must die, because he claimed to be the Son of God.”
8 When Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid, 9 and
he went back inside the palace. “Where do you come from?” he asked Jesus, but
Jesus gave him no answer. 10 “Do you refuse to speak to
me?” Pilate said. “Don’t you realize I have power either to free you or to
crucify you?”
11 Jesus answered, “You would have no power over me if
it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over to
you is guilty of a greater sin.”
12 From then on, Pilate tried to set Jesus free, but the
Jewish leaders kept shouting, “If you let this man go, you are no friend of
Caesar. Anyone who claims to be a king opposes Caesar.”
Ephesians 4:9 [But He ascended?] Now what can this, He ascended, mean
but that He had previously descended from [the heights of] heaven into [the
depths], the lower parts of the earth?
5. The third day he rose from the dead
1 Corinthians 15:3-4 For what I received I passed on to you as of first
importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that
he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according
to the Scriptures,
6. He ascended into heaven, where He sit's at God's Mighty Right Hand
Acts 1:9-12
Jesus Ascends to Heaven
9 Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched,
He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 10 And
while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men
stood by them in white apparel, 11 who also said, “Men of
Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus,
who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw
Him go into heaven.”
7. I believe that He's returning to judge the quick and the dead and the
son's of man
2 Timothy 4:1 I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus
Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His
kingdom:
8. I believe in the Holy Spirit
Ephesians 1:13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard
the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed,
you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
John 15:26 “But
when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of
truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me.
9. I believe in one holy church - the communion of saints
Psalm 133:1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For brethren to dwell together in unity!
1 Corinthians 11:24 And when He had given thanks, He broke it and said,
“Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of
Me.”
10. The forgiveness of sins
Mark 11:25 And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything
against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you
your trespasses.
1l. I believe in the resurrection
1 Corinthians 15:42 So also is the resurrection of the
dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in
incorruption.
12. I believe in a life that never ends - Amen.
Philippians 3:20-21 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also
eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who
will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body,
according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to
Himself.
Jesus did this all because
of His great love for each and every one of us. Make the Apostles' Creed a
declaration of your faith today and every day.
