1. |
in
One God, Creator of the universe, existing
from all eternity in three Persons: Father, Son and Spirit.

in
Jesus Christ, fully God and fully man, born
of a virgin, crucified and resurrected in human history.

in
the sinfulness of humanity which distorts the
beauty of the image of God in each of us.
|

the salvation of all who place their trust in Christ, not
because of our goodness but because of God’s goodness
to us.
