Nicene faith

The Nicene Faith refers to the beliefs outlined in the Nicene Creed, a statement of Christian faith established at the First Council of Nicaea in 325 AD. It affirmed the divinity of Jesus Christ, declaring that He is "true God from true God," and established the concept of the Holy Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as one essence. The Nicene Creed served to unify Christians and counter various heresies, ensuring a common understanding of core beliefs about God, Jesus, and salvation. It remains a central declaration of faith in many Christian denominations today.
