The oldest known Confession of Faith used by the Christian Church is this: “Jesus is Lord.” Simple, yet profound. There’s a lot going on in those words. Those words get unpacked and expounded in the longer creeds, confessions, and Christian theology in general. Here is a redux meant to display a few facets of the original gem (originally posted here). Please feel free to use it in personal or public Worship.

CONFESSION OF FAITH
(Jn. 20:28; Rom. 10:9; 1 Cor. 12:3; Eph. 4:5; Phil. 2:6-11)

What does God the Father want you to know and trust?
Jesus Christ is Lord!

What does God the Spirit enable you to confess and proclaim?
Jesus Christ is Lord!

What is the grace and truth of the revelation of God?
Jesus Christ is Lord!

Who is the Lord of your life?
Jesus Christ is Lord!

Who is the Lord of the church?
Jesus Christ is Lord!

Who is the Lord of heaven and earth?
Jesus Christ is Lord, and there is no other! Amen.
