1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 A Study on the Apostles’ Creed
APOSTLES’ CREED
“He ascended into heaven; and
sitteth at the right hand of God
the Father Almighty; from
thence He shall come to judge
the quick and the dead.”
![Page 3: 102112 apostle's creed v rev ashok](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54792173b479597c098b46a7/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
1.2 The religious instinct within us
expresses itself in 3 forms – a
ritual, a creed and a life.
1.2.1 Ritual – an
outward act
to
propitiate
the
Deity/God
![Page 4: 102112 apostle's creed v rev ashok](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54792173b479597c098b46a7/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
1.2.1 Creed – a rationale for worship, a
formula of a confession of faith
![Page 5: 102112 apostle's creed v rev ashok](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54792173b479597c098b46a7/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
1.2.3 Life – not content with a ritual and
creed, people attempt to express their
religion in their life
![Page 6: 102112 apostle's creed v rev ashok](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54792173b479597c098b46a7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
1.3 FOCUS TODAY: Jesus is not
passive but actively interested
in you and me – to prepare us
for His glorious return.
![Page 7: 102112 apostle's creed v rev ashok](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54792173b479597c098b46a7/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
2. JESUS MAY SEEM TO BE “RESTING
ON HIS LAURELS” NOW
2.1 Jesus has every right to do so
– because He perfectly
finished the work of
salvation.
2.1.1 “It is
finished.”
(John 19: 30)
![Page 8: 102112 apostle's creed v rev ashok](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54792173b479597c098b46a7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
2.1.2 “But when this priest (Jesus) had
offered for all time one sacrifice for
sins, He sat down at the right hand of
God …” (Hebrews 10: 12)
![Page 9: 102112 apostle's creed v rev ashok](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54792173b479597c098b46a7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
2.2 He
ascended
to
heaven.
(Acts 1: 9)
![Page 10: 102112 apostle's creed v rev ashok](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54792173b479597c098b46a7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
2.3 He is exalted at the right
hand of God.
2.3.1 “The Lord
said to my Lord:
Sit at my right
hand until I make
Your enemies a
footstool for Your feet.” (Psalm 110:1)
![Page 11: 102112 apostle's creed v rev ashok](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54792173b479597c098b46a7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
2.3.2 Peter (Acts 2: 25-36) linked this
prophecy with the death, resurrection
and exaltation of the Son.
![Page 12: 102112 apostle's creed v rev ashok](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54792173b479597c098b46a7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
2.4 God has sent us the Holy Spirit.
2.4.1 “I will ask the
Father and He will
give you another
Counsellor
(Paraclete) to be
with you forever …”
(John 14: 16)
![Page 13: 102112 apostle's creed v rev ashok](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54792173b479597c098b46a7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
2.4.2 Peter liked the extraordinary phenomena
of Pentecost as God’s promise (in Joel 2: 28
– 32) fulfilled: Pouring of God’s Spirit that
ushers in end
times. (Acts 2:
14 -21)
![Page 14: 102112 apostle's creed v rev ashok](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54792173b479597c098b46a7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
3. BUT NO … JESUS IS ACTIVELY
HELPING US TODAY
3.1 Jesus promised His eternal
presence in the Great
Commission.
“And surely, I
am with you
always, to the
very end of the
age.” (Matthew
28: 20)
![Page 15: 102112 apostle's creed v rev ashok](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54792173b479597c098b46a7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
3.2 Jesus welcomed Stephen (the
first martyr)
Stephen said:
“Look, I see
heaven open
and the Son of
Man standing
at the right
hand of God.”
(Acts 7: 56)
![Page 16: 102112 apostle's creed v rev ashok](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54792173b479597c098b46a7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
3.3 Jesus called (audible) Saul on
the road to Damascus.
“Saul, Saul why
do you
persecute me?”
“Who are You,
Lord?”
“I am Jesus,
whom you are
persecuting.”
![Page 17: 102112 apostle's creed v rev ashok](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54792173b479597c098b46a7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
3.4 Jesus is our High Priest and
Intercessor,
forever.
![Page 18: 102112 apostle's creed v rev ashok](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54792173b479597c098b46a7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
3.4.1 The author of Hebrews is the only one to
show that Jesus belongs to the Order of
Mechizedek. (Hebrews 7: 1 - 22)
![Page 19: 102112 apostle's creed v rev ashok](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54792173b479597c098b46a7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
3.4.2
Jesus
always lives
to intercede
for us.
(Hebrews 7:
25)
![Page 20: 102112 apostle's creed v rev ashok](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54792173b479597c098b46a7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
4. FINALLY, JESUS WILL JUDGE ALL &
BRING A GLORIOUS END TO WORLD
HISTORY
4.1 One
erroneous
view:
Ultimately,
God will
forgive and
accept
everyone.
![Page 21: 102112 apostle's creed v rev ashok](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54792173b479597c098b46a7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
“Flap! Slap! A wipe of the sponge and he washes out al the sins. Away with you …run off to Paradise!” God says to the soul, “Peterkin, let this poor little creature in too!” (Zorba the Greek)
![Page 22: 102112 apostle's creed v rev ashok](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54792173b479597c098b46a7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
4.2 The judgment day is for sure
and Jesus is the Judge.
4.2.1 “He is the
One God
appointed as
Judge of the
living and the
dead.” (Acts
10: 42)
![Page 23: 102112 apostle's creed v rev ashok](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54792173b479597c098b46a7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
4.2.2 Man has to
give an
account to
the Judge of
the living
and the
dead.
(1 Peter 4: 5)
![Page 24: 102112 apostle's creed v rev ashok](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54792173b479597c098b46a7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
4.3 Jesus assures us salvation is
we believe in Him. (John 3:16)
![Page 25: 102112 apostle's creed v rev ashok](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54792173b479597c098b46a7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
But belief in Christ means choosing
to wholeheartedly follow Him,
which is God’s will.
![Page 26: 102112 apostle's creed v rev ashok](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54792173b479597c098b46a7/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
4.3.1 There can be “pseudo- Christians”
“Not everyone
who says to me
Lord, Lord will
enter the kingdom
of heaven, but only
he who does the
will of my Father,
who is in heaven.”
(Matthew 7: 21)
![Page 27: 102112 apostle's creed v rev ashok](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54792173b479597c098b46a7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
4.4 Hell is real.
![Page 28: 102112 apostle's creed v rev ashok](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54792173b479597c098b46a7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
4.4.1 “Depart from me, you who are cursed
into the eternal fire prepared for the
devil and his angels.” (Matthew 25: 41)
![Page 29: 102112 apostle's creed v rev ashok](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54792173b479597c098b46a7/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
4.4.2 “If anyone’s
name was not
found written
in the Book of
Life, he was
thrown into the
lake of fire.”
(Revelation 20: 15)
![Page 30: 102112 apostle's creed v rev ashok](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54792173b479597c098b46a7/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
4.5 The new Jerusalem means God
will dwell with us forever – no
more tears pain, suffering or
death. (Revelation 21: 3 – 4)
![Page 31: 102112 apostle's creed v rev ashok](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54792173b479597c098b46a7/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
4.6 Practical Application
4.6.1 A Rite, A Creed , A Life
4.6.2 The
Journey is as
Important as
the Destination
(maturity in
Christ)
![Page 32: 102112 apostle's creed v rev ashok](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54792173b479597c098b46a7/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
4.6.3 Hence …
A) Break free from
“sensationalism”
B) Focus on
fellowship with
Jesus
![Page 33: 102112 apostle's creed v rev ashok](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54792173b479597c098b46a7/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
C) Following Christ means bringing others
onto the Gospel Train.
