Apostles' Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit
and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to hell.
The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended to heaven
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty.
From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic* church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
God loves us so much that He gave His only Son for us. Even though Jesus was both man and God, he faced all the temptations, trials and tribulations that we face every day. Not only did He face them, He succeeded them and lived a perfect life. Thus, a perfect sacrifice was made to atone for our sins once and for all. Our debt (of sin) has been paid. If we admit that we our sinners (and in need of a Savior) and believe in our hearts that Jesus Christ was born of a virgin, lived on this earth 33 years (no historian disputes this) and was crucified and rose again on the third day (we are celebrating His resurrection on Easter Sunday) and confess with our mouths and ask Jesus Christ in our hearts. then you will be saved.
Why is Easter Sunday important to us? Because He lives. He is risen. He now sits at the right hand of God advocating on behalf of us to the Father.
Happy Easter! He has risen, indeed!!!
