# The Apostles’ Creed
|
||||
|
||||
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.
|
||||
|
||||
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary; suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell;<sup>1</sup> the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from there he shall come to judge the living and the dead.
|
||||
|
||||
I believe in the Holy Spirit; the holy catholic<sup>2</sup> church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.

<sup>1</sup> See Heidelberg Catechism, Q&A 44; Canons of Dort, 2.4
|
||||
<sup>2</sup> "Catholic" means universal; that is, there is one church across all times, places, and peoples
|
||||
(Belgic Confession, Art. 27; Heidelberg Catechism, Q&A 54).
