Post #5: Reflection on the Apostles Creed

What the Apostles Creed means to me is:

The First Sentence:

"I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth."

That first sentence tells me that God has made me precious. He has given me my own body and soul, eyes, ears, and all my members, my senses, and takes care of all of my family/friends. He also gives me clothing, shoes, food and drink, a place to live in, a great environment, animals, and all I have. He provides me with all that I need to take good care of this body and life. He defends me against all danger and guards and protects me from all evil.

Second Sentence:

"And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Plate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty. From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead."

The second sentence tells me that Jesus Christ, the Father from eternity, and born of the Virgin Mary, is my Lord. Who has redeemed me, and won over from all sins, death, and from the power of the devil, not with a gold or silver medal, but with his holy, precious blood and with his suffering and death, that I may be his own kingdom and serve him in everlasting righteousness just as he is risen from the dead.

The Third Sentence:

"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".

This last sentence of the Apostles Creed tells me that I cannot own a reason or strength to believe in Jesus Christ, my Lord, or come to him. But the Holy Spirit has called me by the Gospel and kept me in the true faith. In the same way he calls, gathers the whole Christian church on earth, and keeps it with Jesus Christ in the one true faith. In church he forgives all my sins.

I was born on July, 12. I was born in St. Michael's Hospital. The meaning of my name is Pretty, Bright, Fair - British. My name was chosen by both my parents while I was in my Mom's stomach. What most describes me more in the bible is : "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." John 14:27
