An Easter Affirmation of Faith
5April 21, 2011 by Brian Miller
We believe in God the Father, who created the world, was faithful when we were not, and who continuously seeks to redeem the world.
We believe in God the Son, Jesus Christ, who humbled himself by becoming human and moving into our neighborhood; was sent by the Father to give us life; embodied and taught the righteous love of God; and who, though he knew no sin, became sin and was put to death on a cross.
We believe that three days later, Jesus Christ was raised from the dead by the power of God; was seen in bodily form by his disciples.
We believe that the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus gives us victory over any form of sin and brokenness and allows us to know the full love of God for the world.
We believe in God the Holy Spirit, who actively works in our lives, giving us grace to be like Jesus, and sends us to show God’s love for the world.
Love this affirmation! Will use it here in south Alabama on Easter sunday!
Thanks, John. Easter blessings for you and the congregation.
Reblogged this on missional orientation.
To use this in my order of worship, what credit should I use aside from your name?
Thanks.
Hi Eric, it’s free for use. Attribution is appreciated. Brian Miller or Reverend Dr. Brian Miller (whichever is most helpful for your setting) is fine. May your Triduum be meaningful!
