The Athanasian Creed arose to teach the Bible’s truth about the Trinity and Christ with precise, memorable lines. Rooted in Scripture, it still shapes worship, catechism, and confidence in the gospel.
Bible Themes and Doctrines
The study of God—Theology Proper—is the highest science and the deepest pursuit of the believer’s life. To know God is not merely to know about Him, but to understand His revealed character as He has disclosed it in Scripture. We believe in the one true and living God, existing eternally in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—who is infinite, unchangeable, and perfect in all His attributes. From His incommunicable attributes like omnipotence and omnipresence to His communicable attributes like love and holiness, every aspect of His nature demands our worship and defines our reality.
In a world that often seeks to “remake” God into a more palatable or culturally convenient image, we stand firm on the God of the Bible. He is both the “Father of mercies” (2 Corinthians 1:3) and a “consuming fire” (Hebrews 12:29). This collection explores the depths of His sovereignty in election, the perfection of His justice in judgment, and the tenderness of His care for the saints. By meditating on who God truly is, we find the antidote to fear, the foundation for holiness, and the assurance of our eternal security.
