CVL The Apostles’ Creed Chosen phrases / sentences from the "Apostles Creed"
“I BELIEVE IN GOD, THE FATHER ALMIGHTY”
“HE CAUSETH THE WRATH OF MAN TO PRAISE HIM,
AND THE REMAINDER OF WRATH HE RESTRAINETH.”
I BELIEVE IN THE HOLY GHOST; THE HOLY CATHOLIC CHURCH, THE
COMMUNION OF SAINTS, THE RESURRECTION OF THE BODY, AND THE LIFE EVERLASTING, AMEN “I BELIEVE IN GOD, THE FATHER ALMIGHTY”
THE STATEMENT THAT GOD IS ALMIGHTY IMPLIES THAT ALL
BEINGS ARE GOVERNED AND CONTROLLED BY HIM AND THEREFORE THIS MAKES ME WAKE UP EVERY MORNING WITH A PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING FOR THE DAY THAT GOD HAS GIVEN ME AND HIS MIGHTY PRESENCE DURING MY DAILY ACTIVITIES. WHENEVER I REPEAT THE WORDS OF THE CREED I PERSONALLY AFFIRM THAT I HAVE AN ALMIGHTY GOD AND FATHER WHO IS IN CHARGE OF ALL THINGS ON EARTH AND HEAVEN ABOVE. “HE CAUSETH THE WRATH OF MAN TO PRAISE HIM, AND THE REMAINDER OF WRATH HE RESTRAINETH
THEREFORE BY MY BELIEF IN GOD, AND THE BELIEF THAT HE IS THE CREATOR OF
HEAVEN AND THE EARTH; I AM CHARGED DAILY WITH BEING, THINKING AND ACTING ONLY AS HE HAS TAUGHT ME THROUGH THE YEARS AS ONE OF HIS PRECIOUS AND GREAT CREATIONS. TO KNOW MY CREATOR IN THIS WAY IS VERY SIMPLE TO ME BUT DIFFICULTIES ARISE WHEN I TRY TO CONCEAL THE SINS THAT I COMMIT WITH EXCUSES TO THE ONLY GOD WHO KNOWS EVERYTHING ABOUT MY LIFE. I BELIEVE THAT IS THE GREATEST MESSAGE FOR ME AS A CHRISTIAN THAT IS PLACED BEFORE ME DAILY: TO LET HIM GUIDE ME WITH HIS LOVE AND COMPASSION FOR HE HAS MIGHTY PLANS FOR ME. I BELIEVE IN THE HOLY GHOST; THE HOLY CATHOLIC CHURCH, THE COMMUNION OF SAINTS, THE RESURRECTION OF THE BODY, AND THE LIFE EVERLASTING, AMEN
I BELIEVE THAT THE SUPERNATURAL BODY OF CHRIST ON EARTH IS MADE UP OF BORN-
AGAIN BELIEVERS FROM EVERY DENOMINATION AND CREED OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, CREATING A SPIRITUAL UNITY THAT DISPROVES OUR APPARENT DISUNITY. I AM CERTAIN THAT CHRIST WILL RETURN FROM HIS PLACE AT THE FATHER'S RIGHT HAND TO JUDGE THE LIVING AND THE DEAD. I BELIEVE THAT GOD THE HOLY GHOST REMAINS WITHIN THE SAINTS AND THAT MY SPIRITUAL BIRTH, LIKE THAT OF MANY OTHERS IN THE COMMUNION OF SAINTS, IS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT FACT OF MY LIFE. HIS FORGIVENESS IS SHOWN BY HIS PRESENCE OF BELIEVERS. HIS GRACE CAME TO ME AND THE REST OF THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN HIM BY CONFIDENCE IN WHAT WE BELIEVE TO BE TRUE: OUR SINFULNESS, HIS SACRIFICE, AND HIS FORGIVENESS. I BELIEVE THE ENDING OF THE CREED IS WHERE GOD CALLS ME TO LIVE OUT HIS WORDS RATHER THAN TO JUST RECITE THEM OR FIND PERSONAL COMFORT IN THEM. Thank you!
