Gavin says at the end of this sermon, "And so we have now considered the 12 Articles of the Apostles' Creed, one article for each of the twelve apostles:
Article 1a: I believe in God the Father
Almighty,
Article 1b: maker of heaven and earth;
Article 2: and in Jesus Christ his
only Son our Lord,
Article 3: who was conceived by the
Holy Ghost, born of the
Virgin Mary,
Article 4a: suffered under Pontius
Pilate, was crucified,
dead, and buried,
Article 4b: he descended into hell;
Article 5: the third day he rose
again from the dead,
Article 6: he ascended into heaven,
Article 7: and sitteth on the right
hand of God the
Father Almighty;
Article 8: from thence he shall come
to judge the quick
and the dead.
Article 9: I believe in the Holy
Ghost;
Article 10a: the holy catholic church;
Article 10b: the communion of saints;
Article 11: the forgiveness of sins;
Article 12a: the resurrection of
the body,
And
Article 12b: and the life everlasting.
Amen.
And the Anglican Short Catechism says: 'Question. What dost thou chiefly learn in these Articles of thy belief? Answer. First, I learn to believe in God the Father, who hath made me, and all the world. Secondly, in God the Son, who hath redeemed me, and all mankind. Thirdly, in God the Holy Ghost, who sanctifieth me, and all the elect people of God'." |
