Day 19. What is the purpose of the creeds? (2024)

Today is day 19 and we are in the section Concerning the Creeds on question 19.

19. What is the purpose of the creeds?

The purpose of the creeds is to declare and safeguard for all generations essential truths about God, the Church, and the world, as revealed in Holy Scripture. (Deuteronomy 7:9–11; Psalm 145:4–13; John 20:30–31; 2 Timothy 1:13–14; Hebrews 2:1–4)

Our prayer today is The Collect for Trinity Sunday found on page 608 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
