What is to be understood from the first article of the Creed? | Saint Peter & Saint Andrew Coptic Orthodox Church

The answer

When we say, “In truth we believe in One God,” we proclaim that our Faith is true, and not merely a teaching or an indoctrination. It is a real Faith that is from within, which is sound and without any doubt whatsoever.

We confess two realities that embody the foundation of all creedal truths, being:

❖ That we believe that God exists (existence of God).
❖ That we believe that God is one (oneness of God).
