It would be worth getting to worship this week…, if only to confess the Church’s faith.
The Apostles Creed, the Nicene Creed—you know them from memory, don’t you? So, why is it any big deal to get together regularly to confess them with others, as we do in worship?
Well, first of all, admit it: you might not remember the creeds without repeating them often. Worse, you might start to forget the important truths – the saving truths – the creeds contain. These facts alone would be sufficient to bring you to worship frequently.
Add to them this: when we speak the creeds together in church, each one of us is publicly proclaiming our rescuing confidence in the true and Triune God. And each one of us is audibly affirming the faith of each other one of us. When hundreds of people participate together in that process, it is a memorable – even a heart-strengthening and life-changing – experience.
You have exactly that opportunity: to confess the creed, once again this week in worship! So: “See you at church.”
You have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful.
