In the liturgy the whole congregation, together with the clergy, pray the Creed aloud. This is one way the Creed helps us to fulfil the following purposes in us:
- a. Affirmation that God is One, as opposed to polytheistic paganism.
- b. Faith in the Holy Trinity, which works to build up the Kingdom of God within every sincere person who yearns to find eternity and become one with the divine.
- c. Awareness of God’s love for us, and of the possibilities that He provides for us to work for His kingdom.
- d. Sanctification of the human mind together with all its faculties, gifts, abilities, and powers; and its elevation to cooperate with the incomparable grace of God.
- e. Protection of our faith from deviations and heresies.
- f. Dissemination of the spirit of hope to us and to those who work with us, and to those around us.
- g. Revelation of the purpose of our life on earth, as we journey towards eternal life.
- h. Awareness of God’s plan for our life and for all humanity.
