Guard the Good Deposit

Section III: How Do We Guard the Good Deposit? • 41

Deepen your understanding of the truth through the Nicene Creed and pass it on to others. You could study the statements of the Nicene Creed for the rest of your life and never exhaust their depths. We can use the Creed as a guide to deepen our understanding. It serves as a springboard into virtually every major truth of Scripture. There is endless material for study. If you think you have it all figured out, remember 1 Corinthians 8.2, “If anyone imagines that he knows something, he does not yet know as he ought to know.” As we gain understanding, the Creed also continues to provide us with a simple way to share what we have learned. You should talk about your faith with your family and friends. The clear brief statements lend themselves to explanation and conversation.

The Nicene Creed is truly second to none as a way to guard the good deposit in our theology.
