The chief things which God has revealed are contained in the Apostles' Creed.
The Apostles' Creed is one of the oldest and most important summaries of the Christian faith. It contains the essential truths that God has revealed about Himself, creation, salvation, the Church, and eternal life. From the earliest centuries, Christians used the Creed to profess their faith, especially before Baptism. Although the Creed does not contain every Church teaching, it provides a concise summary of the core beliefs that all Catholics are called to accept. The Creed helps unite believers in a common profession of faith and serves as a foundation for further catechesis. By learning and praying the Creed, Catholics deepen their understanding of the truths revealed by God and handed down by the Church throughout the ages.
From the beginning, the apostolic Church expressed and handed on her faith in brief formulae. Such syntheses are called professions of faith since they summarise the faith professed by Christians. The Apostles' Creed is the ancient baptismal symbol of the Church of Rome.
2 Timothy 1:13-14
Follow the pattern of the sound words which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus; guard the truth that has been entrusted to you by the Holy Spirit who dwells within us.
