The Nicene Creed

The Nicene Creed is a formal statement of Christian belief created in 325 AD to unify diverse church teachings. It affirms core doctrines such as one God, Jesus Christ as God's Son, his divine incarnation, death, and resurrection, and the Holy Spirit's role. The Creed emphasizes the unity of the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—and affirms belief in the church, forgiveness of sins, and life after death. It serves as a foundational summary of Christian faith, used in worship to express shared beliefs across different Christian communities.
