The Nicene Creed – Church Foundations Series | Official Lost Archives Scroll Edition

Printed on parchment-style paper, this 8.5x11 scroll presents The Nicene Creed — Words That Guarded the Faith — in stunning detail. The Nicene Creed gave the church enduring words to confess the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Formed through the church’s struggle to speak faithfully about Christ, it became a guardrail for worship, doctrine, and public witness.

We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made; who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven. And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of Life, who proceeds from the Father, who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified, who spoke by the prophets. And we believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. And we look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

• Recovered Record — Ancient Greek and Latin forms of the creed, conciliar records, liturgical texts, and the writings of Athanasius and other church fathers preserve the wording and witness of the Nicene faith across the centuries
• Historical Account — The creed first took shape at Nicaea in AD 325 and was expanded at Constantinople in AD 381. It affirmed that Jesus Christ is truly God from true God, begotten not made, and of one substance with the Father, while also confessing faith in the Holy Spirit
• When the Story is Told — The Nicene Creed reminds believers that truth can be confessed together. Its words have helped Christians worship, teach, and defend the gospel in churches across the world for many centuries
• Did You Know? — St. Athanasius, known as “Defender of the Faith,” spent much of his life defending the Nicene confession against Arianism, enduring exile multiple times rather than compromise the truth of Christ’s divinity
• Words of Wisdom — "Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus." — 2 Timothy 1:13
