Our Father who art in heaven
There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were
called to one hope when you were called— one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one
God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. Ephesians
4:4
The
oneness of the church, rooted in Christ Himself, into whom we are baptized.
This sane indivisible Spirit unites us. The number one is God’s number for
completeness.
The
Apostles Creed is called thus not because it was written by the apostles
themselves, but because it states briefly the doctrine (teaching) that God gave
through the apostles in the Bible. The Creed is Trinitarian because the
Scriptures reveal God to us as triune. Christians are baptized in the name of
the triune God. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. [2]
Almighty God, whose
blessed Son was led by the Spirit to be tempted by Satan; Come quickly to help
us who are assaulted by many temptations; and, as you know the weaknesses of
each of us, let each one find you mighty to save; through Jesus Christ your Son
my Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and
forever. Amen.[3]
