Nicene Creed

Ecumenical 381 AD 5 sections

The Nicene Creed (325/381 AD) was formulated at the Councils of Nicaea and Constantinople to affirm the full divinity of the Son and the Holy Spirit against Arian and Macedonian heresies.

God the Father

We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.

Art. 2

God the Son — His Person

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made.

Art. 3

God the Son — His Work

Who, for us men and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; He suffered and was buried; and the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures; and ascended into heaven, and sits on the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again, with glory, to judge the quick and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.

Art. 4

God the Holy Spirit

And we believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life; who proceeds from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets.

Art. 5

The Church and Resurrection Hope

And we believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; and we look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
