The Apostles Creed

Christian, what do you believe? And why does this matter?

The creeds of Christianity are like the position papers of our church fathers. They help us lift our gaze from the world and its confusion and help us focus instead on trying to understand God better. And as we seek his kingdom first the rest of the world’s difficulties comes into better clarity.

CS Lewis put it this way. “I believe in Christianity as I believe that the Sun has risen, not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.”

I get it that many have been burned by religion and so steer away from the subject all together.

Allow me to propose another approach.

You may not believe in God. I didn’t for years myself. So approach understanding by what you do understand that still requires faith.

Relationships and love are real and yet invisible just like God. If you want to know more about your own heart and the heart of others then I suggest you learn all you can about the life of the one Christianity is named for.
