I Believe

<p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>The Apostles' Creed declares truths that transcend time and space uniting all of Christ's saints from past present and future.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>In the early- to mid-1950s Herman Hoeksema delivered a series of radio sermons on each of the articles of the Apostles' Creed thereby presenting and explaining all of the foundational doctrines of the Christian faith. This collection of those sermons is therefore an excellent introduction to a Reformed understanding of the fundamental doctrines of the Christian faith.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>But the sermons in this book are more than theological expositions of the doctrines of the Apostles' Creed. Hoeksema offers insightful practical applications that flow from the truths of the Creed. Both the Creed's doctrines and practical implications are crucially important-not only to the individual Christian-but also to the church as a whole. By expounding the Apostles' Creed Hoeksema demonstrates that its truths are not empty propositions but living declarations pointing to the Christian's only hope and comfort in life and death-the triune God and the Lord Jesus Christ.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)><span></span>As God's people we embrace the teachings of the Apostles' Creed. We embrace these teachings because we believe them. However we believers can easily fall into the practice of treating the Creed as only a simple statement a statement which we do not think about too deeply. We do not seek to understand the depths of its riches. Consequently we do not grow in our faith. This fine volume on the Apostles' Creed replete with many Scripture references will cause our faith and understanding of biblical truth to grow.</span><em style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)></em><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)> - REV.
