I believe

I believe
Apostles' Creed
I believe in God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth:
And in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord:
Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary:
Suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead and 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 shall come to judge the quick and the dead:
I believe in the Holy Ghost:
 I believe in the holy catholic church: the communion of the saints: 
(that is, the true Christian church of all times and all places.)   
The forgiveness of sins:
The resurrection of the body:
And the life everlasting. Amen.
The Apostles Creed while not written by the apostles of Jesus in brief states what I and all Christians believe.
It is the message we have for the world.
The apostle John who was with Jesus throughout his ministry recorded Jesus as saying,
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.  Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.” 
                                                                                                           John 3:16-18.
Christians accept this statement on faith and we present it to all people everywhere to accept or reject.
Please think about it.
