Explanation of the text:

To believe in God means to have living confidence in His being, properties and actions and to accept with all your heart His revealed word about the salvation of the human race. God is one in essence, but trinity in Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the Trinity is consubstantial and indivisible. In the Creed, God is called the Almighty, because He contains everything that is in His power and His will. The words of the Creator to heaven and earth, to those visible to all and to those invisible, mean that everything was created by God and nothing can exist without God. The word invisible indicates that God created the invisible, or spiritual, world to which the Angels belong.

The Son of God is the second Person of the Holy Trinity according to His Divinity. He is called Lord because He is the true God, for the name Lord is one of the names of God. The Son of God is called Jesus, that is, the Savior, this name was given by the Archangel Gabriel himself. The prophets called Him Christ, that is, the Anointed One - this is how kings, high priests and prophets have long been called. Jesus, the Son of God, is so called because all the gifts of the Holy Spirit are immeasurably imparted to His humanity, and thus to Him belong in the highest degree the knowledge of a prophet, the holiness of a high priest, and the power of a king. Jesus Christ is called the Only Begotten Son of God because He alone is the Son of God, born from the being of God the Father, and therefore He is one being with God the Father. The Creed says that He was born of the Father, and this depicts the personal property by which He differs from the other Persons of the Holy Trinity. It was said before all ages, so that no one would think that there was a time when He did not exist. The words of Light from Light in some way explain the incomprehensible birth of the Son of God from the Father. God the Father is eternal Light, from Him is born the Son of God, Who is also eternal Light; but God the Father and the Son of God are one eternal Light, indivisible, of one Divine nature. The words of the true God from the true God are taken from the Holy Scriptures: We also know that the Son of God came and gave us light and understanding, that we might know the true God and that we might be in His true Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life (1 John 5:20). The words begotten, uncreated were added by the holy fathers of the Ecumenical Council to denounce Arius, who wickedly taught that the Son of God was created. The words consubstantial with the Father mean that the Son of God is one and the same Divine being with God the Father. The words of Him who were all show that God the Father created everything with His Son as His eternal wisdom and His eternal Word. For our sake, man, and for our salvation, the Son of God, according to His promise, came to earth not for just one people, but for the entire human race in general. He came down from heaven - as he says about himself: No one ascended into heaven except the Son of Man who came down from heaven, who is in heaven (John 3:13). The Son of God is omnipresent and therefore was always in heaven and on earth, but on earth He was previously invisible and became visible only when He appeared in the flesh, became incarnate, that is, took on human flesh, except for sin, and became a man, without ceasing to be God . The Incarnation of Christ was accomplished through the assistance of Holy Spirit, so that the Holy Virgin, just as she was a Virgin before conception, remained a Virgin at conception, and after conception, and at birth itself. The word made man was added so that no one would think that the Son of God took on one flesh or body, but so that in Him they would recognize a perfect man, consisting of body and soul. Jesus Christ was crucified for us - by His death on the cross He delivered us from sin, curses and death.

The words under Pontius Pilate indicate the time when He was crucified. Pontius Pilate was the Roman ruler of Judea, which was conquered by the Romans. The word suffered was added to show that His crucifixion was not just a kind of suffering and death, as some false teachers said, but real suffering and death. He suffered and died not as a Deity, but as a man, and not because he could not avoid suffering, but because he wanted to suffer. The word buried confirms that He really died and rose again, for His enemies even placed a guard at the tomb and sealed the tomb. And he who rose on the third day, according to Scripture, the fifth member of the Creed teaches that our Lord Jesus Christ, by the power of His Divinity, rose from the dead, as it is written about Him in the prophets and in the psalms, and that He rose again in the same body in which He was born and died. . Words according to Scripture mean that Jesus Christ died and rose again exactly as it was prophetically written in the books of the Old Testament. And ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of the Father - these words are borrowed from Holy Scripture: He who descended, He also ascended above all the heavens, to fill everything (Eph. 4:10). We have such a High Priest, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven (Heb. 8:1). The words of one who sits on the right hand, that is, one who sits on the right side, must be understood spiritually. They mean that Jesus Christ has equal power and glory with God the Father. And again the one who is to come will be judged with glory by the living and the dead, His Kingdom will have no end - the Holy Scripture says this about the future coming of Christ: This Jesus, who has ascended from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw Him ascending into heaven (Acts 1 , eleven).

The Holy Spirit is called Lord because he, like the Son of God, is true God. The Holy Spirit is called Life-Giving, because He, together with God the Father and the Son, gives life to creatures, including spiritual life to people: unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God (John 3:5). The Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father, as Jesus Christ Himself says about this: When the Comforter comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, which proceeds from the Father, He will testify about Me (John 15:26). Worship and glorification befits the Holy Spirit, equal to the Father and the Son - Jesus Christ commanded to baptize in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19). The Creed says that the Holy Spirit spoke through the prophets - this is based on the words of the Apostle Peter: prophecy was never pronounced by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke it, being moved by the Holy Spirit (2 Pet. 1:21). You can become a participant in the Holy Spirit through the sacraments and fervent prayer: if you, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him (Luke 11:13).

The Church is one because there is one body and one spirit, just as you were called to one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in us all (Eph. 4:4-6). The Church is Holy because Christ loved the Church and gave Himself for her in order to sanctify her, cleansing her with the washing of water through the word; in order to present it to Himself as a glorious Church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing, but that it might be holy and without blemish (Eph. 5:25-27). The Catholic Church, or, what is the same thing, catholic, or Ecumenical, because it is not limited to any place, time, or people, but includes true believers of all places, times and peoples. The Church is Apostolic because it has continuously and unchangeably preserved since the time of the Apostles both the teaching and the succession of the gifts of the Holy Spirit through consecrated ordination. The True Church is also called Orthodox, or True Believers.

Baptism is a Sacrament in which a believer, by immersing his body three times in water, with the invocation of God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, dies to a carnal, sinful life and is reborn from the Holy Spirit into a spiritual, holy life. Baptism is one, because it is a spiritual birth, and a person is born once, and therefore is baptized once.

The resurrection of the dead is an action of the omnipotence of God, according to which all the bodies of dead people, uniting again with their souls, will come to life and will be spiritual and immortal.

The life of the future century is the life that will happen after the Resurrection of the dead and the General Judgment of Christ.

The word Amen, which concludes the Creed, means “Truly so.” The Church has kept the Creed since apostolic times and will keep it forever. No one can ever subtract or add anything to this Symbol.

The “Creed” prayer, the text of which in Russian will be given below, is considered one of the main prayers of Christianity of all denominations. It briefly sets out the basic truths of the Christian faith, i.e. what Christians around the world believe. For this reason, the name “Creed” is often replaced with the synonym “I Believe” - after the first word with which this prayer begins.

Every church gives a special place to the “Creed”: services begin with this prayer, and it is read by the godparents when a child is baptized. Those who themselves accept Baptism, including children who have reached conscious age, must also know it. The power of “I Believe” allows you to establish a close connection with the Lord and strengthen your faith in him.

In Russian, the text of the prayer “Creed” is as follows:

Brief historical background on the origin of prayer

The prototype of the “Creed” originated during the formation of the Church. Even then there were several short truths, the purpose of which was to remind baptized converts of what they should believe. Over time, as the rite of baptism underwent changes, the prayer began to take on its modern appearance, and new formulations were included in its content.

This version, in which the “Creed” exists now, was compiled at the First and Second Ecumenical Councils. The first was held in 325, in Nicaea, the second - in 381, in Constantinople (Constantinople). Based on the names of these cities, the modern “Creed” was called Nicene-Constantinopolitan. During the First Council, the first 7 truths of prayer were compiled, during the Second - the remaining 5.

Contents and interpretation of the prayer “I Believe”

The “Creed” consists of 12 members (parts). Each part contains one truth:

• 1st member - one God is mentioned;
• from 2 to 7 - dedicated to Jesus Christ, the son of the Lord;
• 8th member - we are talking about the Holy Spirit;
• 9th member - dedicated to the united Church;
• 10th member - the sacrament of baptism, its benefit;
• The 11th and 12th members are a mention of the Kingdom of Heaven, the resurrection of those who have passed into another world, and eternal life.

The meaning of prayer

It’s not for nothing that the “Creed” begins with the word “I Believe” - it contains a huge meaning, and it must be pronounced sincerely and resonate in the soul and consciousness of the person praying. Believing is the first thing required of a true Christian. Next, it lists what exactly he must believe in: in the trinity of God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit), in one Church and eternal life, which will reign on earth after the Last Judgment, where every single one will receive what they deserve.

Unity of God

The first part of the prayer is dedicated to the one God, precisely the one, since Christianity is a monotheistic religion. Before the birth of Christianity, people invented many gods for themselves and associated them with natural phenomena. And in the Christian religion there is one Lord, the Son of God and the Holy Spirit are parts of it.

The essence of the Creator is revealed in the first member: thanks to him, life arose on earth, it was he who created everything living and inanimate, “visible and invisible.”

God's Son

After the mention of the one God, there is a story about His Son - Jesus, who sacrificed own life so that humanity would be granted deliverance from all sins. The Son of the Lord, born of an ordinary mortal woman, is considered by Christians to be God.

Christ grew up like an ordinary person, but differed from other people in the gift of miracles. He created many miracles in his life. People followed Jesus, and the apostles became his first disciples. He taught them God's word without hiding his origins. He was born, as all people are born, lived a human life and died as a human, and then was resurrected according to the will of his Father.

The Christian faith begins with the acceptance of the mystery of the birth, life and resurrection of Jesus Christ. For this reason, a large part of the prayer is devoted to the Son of the Lord - in this part his life path is briefly revealed. It is believed that now he is next to his Father and awaits the onset of the Last Judgment.

Holy Spirit

The 8th part of the prayer is dedicated to the Holy Spirit. He is part of the one God and is revered along with the Creator and His Son.

United Church

In the ninth part of the “Creed” the Church is called one, catholic and apostolic. United - because it unites believers all over the world, disseminating Christian truths among them. Sobornaya means universal. For Christianity there are no separate nations - any person living in this world can profess this religion. Apostolic - because the first followers of Christ were the apostles. They recorded the life of Jesus and his deeds, and spread this story throughout the world. The apostles chosen by Christ during his earthly life became the founders of the Christian religion.

Sacrament of Baptism

The tenth part of “I Believe” is dedicated to the sacrament of baptism. This prayer accompanies any baptismal ceremony. It is pronounced by the convert or his godparents. The roots of prayer itself originated with baptism, which is one of the key Christian traditions. By being baptized, a person accepts Jesus and prepares to pray and honor the triune God.

Resurrection of the dead and the advent of heaven on earth

The final, 12th member of the “Creed” tells about the coming resurrection of the departed and the future paradise on earth for righteous Christians, which Christ will arrange after the Last Judgment and victory over darkness, not without the help of his mighty Father.

“The Creed” ends on an optimistic note - anticipation of a wonderful time. These twelve members contain the whole essence and history of the Christian religion.

The Creed is one of the most important Orthodox prayers, its text reveals the meaning of what an Orthodox Christian needs to believe. You can download it and listen to it on our website.

It is recommended to read the Creed once a day, immediately after waking up. This prayer symbolizes sincere faith in the Lord God, that the day will come when the entire human race will be saved. The words of this prayer convey information that everything on our earth was created by God, the existence of all living things is impossible without his participation. The text of the prayer contains 12 parts; in order to understand the meaning as a whole, it is necessary to read the text in parts, each of which contains the foundations of the Christian faith.

The prayer “I Believe in One God” is presented both in Church Slavonic and Russian. You can download two versions of the prayer with emphasis on our website; we also offer to listen to the Creed online.

Let's look at each part of the Creed prayer; we recommend downloading it first..

1. With the words “I believe in one God...” there is a statement that it was God who created heaven and earth, all living beings. It is this text that confirms our faith not only in words, but also in actions. Here we are also talking about the Holy Trinity: the Lord God acts as the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. But what is meant by faith? This concept is general; it combines confidence in the existence of both the visible (real world) and the invisible (spiritual) world.

   It will be easier to convey this concept to your child if you download the prayer and then read it along with the explanations. God is a Spirit who is invisible to man, but he is everywhere, both in heaven and on earth. The name of the Almighty is also used here, what does it mean? The concept of the Father Almighty is used in the sense that the world exists precisely thanks to his gracious power that supports the Universe.

2. The second part says that Jesus Christ is the only God for all Christians, aka the Only Begotten Son of God the Father, who was born before the start of the time countdown. Jesus Christ is begotten and not a creation of God the Father. There is an explanation that he is of the same kind with him, is the likeness of the Father. The existence of everything around (heaven, earth) is the creation of Jesus Christ and God the Father. All this means that the creation of the world occurred thanks to the act of one God, namely the Holy Trinity.
3. This prayer text calls God savior of the human race. His appearance on earth occurred from the incarnation of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, further humanization. Thus, having acquired human form, he became a perfect man and at the same time God, that is, the God-man. The Virgin Mary is the Mother of God who is venerated Orthodox Church above all saints and angels, since she is the Mother of the Lord God.
4. Every Orthodox Christian believes that crucifixion of jesus christ on the cross is, first of all, payment for human sins, which was presented for the salvation of all people on earth. Although Jesus was sinless, he experienced all human suffering, died, and then was buried. Going through the most terrible torment, he suffered for the sins of the human race, but not for His sins.

   If you download the text in Church Slavonic, this part sounds a little different than in Russian, but the essence of what is said is the same. You can download two versions, and then listen and compare them.

5. "And rose again on the third day, according to the Scriptures"- belief in the resurrection of Jesus three days after death. Jesus Christ is the True God for Christians, which is why his resurrection occurred. The words “according to Scripture” speak of the prophets’ predictions about the suffering, death, as well as the burial of our Savior, and his further resurrection. Christ rose again on that day of the week, which is now called Sunday.
6. The following text of the prayer reads: about the ascension of the Lord in flesh and soul, but the Divinity always remains near His Father. Thanks to the ascension, the union of the earthly with the heavenly took place, as well as the glorification of all human nature. By his resurrection, Jesus indicated to believers that the Kingdom of God is open to every Orthodox Christian.
7. 7. This part of the Creed prayer may be incomprehensible to a child, so a detailed interpretation is necessary. Every Christian believes that Jesus will come down to our earth again to carry out judgment on people, both living and dead, who will be resurrected. After it passes Last Judgment, there will be the Kingdom of Christ, which is endless in time. The judgment is called terrible due to the fact that the conscience of each person will be revealed to everyone, including thoughts and desires unknown to anyone. The righteous will gain eternal life, and sinners will suffer forever for their evil deeds, which they did not repent of and did not correct with good deeds.

   It is necessary to listen to this part of the Creed prayer very carefully, since you may not immediately grasp the whole essence. It is best to download the text and listen several times.

8. This part of the Creed says: about faith in the Holy Trinity, namely the Holy Spirit, who is the same true God, the incarnation of the Son, as well as the Father. The Holy Spirit in the person of God the Son and God the Father provides life to everyone, especially for spiritual people. He takes the same part in the creation of the world as the Father and the Son. Accordingly, it is necessary to glorify him in the same way.
9. It says here about the Church of Christ founded by Jesus Christ to illuminate sinners and reunite with God.
