SYMBOLUM APOSTOLICUM

"Credo in Deum Patrem omnipotentem,
Creatorem caeli et terrae.
Et in Iesum Christum, Filium Eius unicum, Dominum nostrum,
qui conceptus est de Spiritu Sancto, natus ex Maria Virgine,
passus sub Pontio Pilato, crucifixus, mortuus, et sepultus,
descendit ad inferos, tertia die resurrexit a mortuis,
ascendit ad caelos,
sedet ad dexteram Dei Patris omnipotentis,
inde venturus est iudicare vivos et mortuos.
Credo in Spiritum Sanctum,
Sanctam Ecclesiam Catholicam,
Sanctorum Communionem,
Remissionem Peccatorum,
Carnis Resurrectionem,
Vitam Aeternam. Amen."

THE APOSTLES' CREED
*************
"I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, God's only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again;
he ascended into heaven,
he is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen."

"My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because servants do not know their master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. This is my command: Love each other."JOHN 15:12-17
*************************************************
CHRISTIANITY IS TOUGH...NO! BIBLICALLY SPEAKING, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE - FOR ALL BUT GOD, THAT IS! AND SO IT SHOULDN'T SURPRISE US THAT GOD THROUGH HIS WORD REMINDS US THAT AS WE BEGAN IN CHRIST (BY FAITH AND NOT BY SIGHT), SO SHOULD WE CONTINUE TO LIVE (BY FAITH AND NOT MERELY BY SIGHT). OFTEN THERE IS SEEMINGLY NO TANGIBLE RESPONSE OR CONFIRMATION AS TO WHETHER WHAT WE DO IS "WORTH ALL THE EFFORT." NO TANGIBLE CONFIRMATION, EXCEPT THE UNCHANGING WORD OF GOD, WHICH COMMANDS US TO CONTINUE BY FAITH ACCORDING TO HIS TRUTH...
~THANKS FOR BELIEVING IN ME~
