The term ''Creed'' refers to a concise statement summarizing the essential doctrines of the Christian faith. In Latin, it begins with ''[https://www.britannica.com/dictionary/credo Credo]'', meaning “I believe,” and the Apostles’ Creed likewise opens with this word. By reciting the Apostles’ Creed, believers profess their faith in the [[Trinity|Triune]] [[God]] and the salvation work of God. The Creed affirms belief in God [[the Creator]], the virgin birth of [[Jesus Christ]], His [[Crucifixion|suffering on the cross]], His death, [[resurrection]], and more. | ||
