The Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed

The Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed is a statement of Christian faith formulated in the 4th century to affirm core beliefs about God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. It declares belief in one God, the divine nature of Jesus Christ as the Son of God, his incarnation, death, and resurrection, and the Holy Spirit’s role. It also affirms the unity of the Church and the hope of eternal life. The creed was created to unify Christians by clearly outlining essential doctrines, and it remains a foundational statement for many Christian denominations today.
