“I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father [and the Son],
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen”

On the Nicene creed, research suggests it dates back to the 4th century. It expresses the core elements of the Christian faith, by the leaders from which both them and subsequent generations of believers cannot negotiate from. Haven read the scriptures and experienced the grace of Christ, the early church fathers agreed and resolved upon the affirmation of this doctrines of faith. I find them consistent with the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ, and I rejoice to read in brevity and accuracy the truth of the kingdom retained in these statements, and to God be glory for the grace of God on them to guide believers to maintain the confession to the Christian faith. It adopts in entirety the Apostle’s creed, and the church of Christ in modern times have included it in their practice rightly.
I find it wholly true, and I confess it. Thanks be to God for His mercy.
God bless.
Evangelist Israel Okunwaye
