THE APOSTLES' CREED
PREPARATION FOR LESSON 6
SALVATION

This Lesson on salvation will be divided into three major sections:

Forgiveness
Resurrection
Eternal Life

In preparation for this lesson, read Romans 3-8. Write down what this passage has to teach us about salvation.

Make sure that you have memorized the whole creed.

APOSTLES' CREED

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit
and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to hell.
The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended to heaven
and is seated at the right hand of
God the Father Almighty.
From there he will come to judge
the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
