The Nicene Creed Summarizes Beliefs about Jesus Our creed—written at Nicaea in AD 325—was endorsed and expanded at the First Council of Constantinople (AD 381). It contains the essentials of the Christian faith.
The Nicene Creed (or Niceno-Constantinopalitan Creed) was originally formulated to address the heresy of Arianism. In answering heresy, it effectively summarizes the Christian faith. The Creed focuses on belief about Jesus Christ, the Blessed Trinity, and the Catholic Church.
The Nicene Creed begins describing God with the first Person of the Trinity. He is the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth.
The Creed continues with our beliefs about the Son of God. Jesus Christ is Lord. The only Son of God—eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God. Through him all things were made.
The Creed then proclaims our belief in the third Person of the Blessed Trinity. The Holy Spirit is the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son, he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the prophets.
The Nicene Creed also puts forth the other essential beliefs of our Christian faith. It details the important events in the life of Christ, such as his virgin birth, his crucifixion, Resurrection, and Ascension into heaven.
The Nicene Creed also puts forth the other essential beliefs of our Christian faith. It proclaims our belief in the one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
The Nicene Creed also puts forth the other essential beliefs of our Christian faith. And it proclaims our faith in one baptism which God gives us for the forgiveness of our sins, that we may experience the resurrection of the body and everlasting life in the fullness of God’s Kingdom—the world to come.
