I believe in the Father’s loving kindness,
in the Almighty’s saving power,
in the Creator’s providence; guarding, ruling and perfecting the
universe,
in Jesus, for salvation,
in Christ, for the anointing of His Spirit,
in the only Son, for adoption,
in His cross, for the curse of the law removed,
in His death, for the sting of death taken away,
in His burial, for bodily corruption ended,
in His resurrection, as the first fruits of those who sleep,
in His ascension, to prepare a place for us,
the perfecter of our faith, in his second advent.^199
