The Nicene Creed is probably the most broadly used confession of religion on the planet—and has been for greater than a thousand years. Sunday after Sunday of their worship companies, Japanese Orthodox, Roman Catholics, Lutherans, Anglicans, and others recite the creed to profess what they imagine. Those that have no idea the creed—who haven’t discovered it by coronary heart from years of repetition—are a minority within the Christian world.
Why say the Nicene Creed?
The creed is a Bible-based abstract of the gospel of Jesus Christ. To say the creed is to say who God is—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—and who Christ is: the only-begotten Son of the Father, God from God, who for our salvation turned incarnate, which is to say totally human, and was crucified, raised from the useless, and now sits enthroned on the proper hand of God the Father. To affix different Christians in saying and believing the creed is thus a option to come to know God.
