[The Creed is divided into three parts. l"Tie fir.st teaches us of the Father and His work ; the second, of the Son and His work ; and the third, of the Holy Spirit and His work. The following are the meanings of some of the principal words in the Creed. Creed means belief, Jiehearsey repeat ; Almighty, able to do all things ; Heaven, a lifted-up place, from Heave, to lift up ; Jesus, God the Saviour, the same as Joshua, from Jah (Jehovah) and Oshea (Saviour) ; Christ anointed ; Pontius Pilate, a Roman Governor ; Crucified, fastened to a cross ; Ascended went up ; the Quick, the living ; Ccmmunicn, fellowship ; /Resurrection, rising again ; Everlasting, lasting forever: Amen, true. After the Creed, Afiien means it is true, or it is so. After a prayer, A mm means it may be true, may it be so, or so be it, Jer. xi. 5, margin.] Q. What dost thou chiefly learn in these Articles of thy Belief? A. First I learn to believe in God the Father, who hath made me and all the world. Acts xvii. 24. Secondly, in God the Son, who died, the just for the unjust, that He naght bring sinners to heaven. Matt. i. 18 ; Rom. ix. 5 ; i Pet. iii. 18. Thirdly, in God the Holy Spirit, who gives spiritual life to all the elect people of God. Ezek. xxxvii. 9 ; Ephes. ii. i ; Ephes. i. 4 ; I Pet. i. 2. Q. How do you know that what is taught in this Creed is true ? A. Because the same things are taught in the Bibie, which is the Word of God. 2 Tim. iii. 16 ; 2 Pet. i. 21. [The word Bible is from a Greek word Biblos^ which means Book ; so Tke Bible, or the Holy Bible means the Book, or the Holy Book, namely the word of God ] THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
