    About this ebook

    A Creed is a “system, doctrine, or formula of religious belief.” Since ours was not a church-going family in the early years, Jesus Loves Me, was the closest thing I had to an authoritative, formulated statement of belief. Through my mother's love, this “creed,” if you will, led me to believe. A creed based on God’s eternal truth is a foundation upon which your life, both spiritually and physically, can be built, and upon which you can stand without fear. Early in church history, the creative, clever minds of well-intentioned people began to develop theories and doctrines about Jesus, and the Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, that was contrary to what they had always believed. The core truths of the faith that were passed along by the apostles and faithful teachers began to be challenged and questioned. By the 4th century, something had to be done to reel everyone back in—to remind everyone, and cast in stone, so to speak, the core message of the Christian faith. A council was called of all the Bishops of the church, to be held in Nicea, a city in what is now Turkey. They gathered in the year 325 and hammered out the main part of the creed. Then, in 381 they gathered again and completed it. This small guide reviews the scriptural foundation of the Creed.

    Edward Goble is a creative generalist who is at once a designer, artist, musician, author, cook, and anything else that sparks creative imagination. Chiefly, though, he would describe himself as a follower of Jesus, focused on observing the goodness and beauty of God in everyday life.Among Ed's books, is the inspiring "The Bible Devotional", an easy-to-read, refreshing addition to contemporary devotional books. Each book of the Bible is featured individually in Ed's conversational, story-telling style that will make you feel as if you are just sitting with a friend talking about Jesus."Ed is an amazing storyteller who has absolute faciltiy of words, both spoken and written, as well as the visual arts that require no words." Dean Arvidson, HarperCollins Christian Publishers
