The Divine Ordinance of the Council of Nicea

Isn't it amazing that 1687 years ago to this day the Nicene Creed was forged by the Council of Nicea - a document to standardize the confession of our faith in Jesus Christ as King of Kings and Lord of Lords - fully God and fully man; Incarnate Deity as the perfect propitiation between God and man. God works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will (eph 1:11); even to draw out heresies in order to highlight the need to establish correct doctrine. I praise God for His intricate workings throughout human history - settling the confrontations between the Truth of the Spirit and the lies of corrupted human flesh. Paul warns us to be on guard "If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!" We must continue in our convictions of the truth that Jesus Christ is the only means of access and reconciliation to our Heavenly Father because of His unique and eternal nature. No other man or god is worthy of our allegiance and surrender. May we discover the matchless path of beauty in eternal life through our Lord and Savior. To God be the glory forever. Amen.
