“And I
appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty”
Exodus 6:3 KJV
The oldest regularly used confession in
Christendom is the Apostles’ Creed. It boldly sets forth the Christian
statement of faith. Everyone believes in something, even the atheist. A
person’s god may be education, government, social causes, finance, evolution,
immorality or as many possibilities as there are people. They would articulate
that they believe those things are what drives their lives, makes them happy
and are the foundation they can rest upon. The Christian says, “I believe in
God the Father Almighty.”
The word believe
means that “I have placed my faith in”. There are many other things in the
world around us that captivate our time and attention. But for the Christian
their faith in God surpasses all the other affairs of life when it comes down
to where we will lay our head at night. We trust in the One who is Almighty. We
trust in the One who can do all things and do them well. We trust in His
integrity, His promises, His presence and His Gospel. This confession has
stated the simple fact of faith for nearly two millennia, and continues to
resonate today with all the peace and joy it declares.
Thank
You, Almighty God, that You really are all You are cracked up to be. Amen.
