Creed א

Creed א [∞]

The Nicene Creed sums up this belief well, particularly in its opening statement:

"We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible."

This aligns with the idea that God, through His Word, spoke creation into existence. Additionally, the Apostles' Creed echoes this foundational truth:

"I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth."

These creedal statements affirm God's role as the Creator, consistent with the Hebrew understanding of Aleph (א) representing God's act of speaking and bringing the heavens and the earth into being.

Creed of Creation and Divine Speech (Aleph א)

We believe:

1. That God spoke and the heavens and the earth came into being, for His Word is the foundation of all creation. (Genesis 1:1-3, John 1:1-3)
2. That He created by His wisdom, establishing all things according to His divine purpose. (Proverbs 3:19, Psalm 33:6)
3. That His Word, revealed in the Law and Prophets, declares His sovereignty over all that is visible and invisible. (Isaiah 45:18, Colossians 1:16)
4. That the Aleph א, the first letter of creation, signifies the breath of God’s command, bringing forth order from chaos. (Genesis 1:1-3)
5. That God made mankind in His image, calling them to reflect His character and purpose in the world. (Genesis 1:26-27)
6. That through sin, creation was subjected to futility, yet His Word remained the promise of restoration. (Romans 8:20-21)
7. That in the fullness of time, the Word became flesh, revealing the glory of the Father and restoring what was lost. (John 1:14, Hebrews 1:3)
8. That Jesus, the Alpha (Aleph) and Omega (Tav), is the completion of all God has spoken, reconciling all things through His finished work. (Revelation 1:8, Colossians 1:20)
9. That creation groans for the final fulfillment of His Word, when He will make all things new. (Romans 8:22, Revelation 21:5)
10. That in eternity, those who have heard and received His Word will dwell in the light of His presence forever. (John 5:24, Revelation 22:3-5)

Amen.
