Creeds from the Bible
Did you know that there are creeds
and confessions scattered all through the Bible? Here are a few of them.
Deut. 6:4, “Hear O Israel, the LORD
is our God, the LORD alone.”
1
Kings. 18:39, “And when all the people saw it, they fell on their
faces; and they said, "The LORD, he is God; the LORD, he is God.”
Matt.
16:16, “Simon Peter replied, "You are the Christ, the Son of the
living God."
Matt.
28:19, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them
in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”
John
1:49, “Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God!
You are the King of Israel!"
John
6:68-69, “Simon Peter answered him, "Lord to whom shall we go?
You have the words of eternal life; and we have believed, and have come
to know, that you are the Holy One of God."
John
20:28, “Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!"
Acts
8:36-37, “And as they went along the road they came to some water, and
the eunuch said, "See, here is water! What is to prevent my being
baptized?" And Philip said, "If you believe with all your
heart, you may." And he replied, "I believe that Jesus Christ
is the Son of God.”
Acts
16:31, "And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you
will be saved, you and your household."
1
Cor. 8:6, “Yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all
things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom
are all things and through whom we exist.”
1
Cor. 12:3, “Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking by
the Spirit of God ever says "Jesus be cursed!" and no one can
say "Jesus is Lord" except by the Holy Spirit.”
1
Cor. 15:3-7, “For I delivered to you as of first importance what I
also received, that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the
scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in
accordance with the scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to
the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one
time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. Then
he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.”
Phil.
2:6-11, “Who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality
with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of
a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human
form he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a
cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name
which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should
bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue
confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
1
Tim. 3:16, “Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of our religion:
He was manifested in the flesh, vindicated in the Spirit, seen by
angels, preached among the nations, believed on in the world, taken up
in glory.”
Hebrews
6:1-2, “Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and
go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead
works and of faith toward God, with instruction about ablutions, the
laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal
judgment.”
1
John 4:2, “By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit which
confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God.” |
