The Apostles' Creed is the most hallowed summary of what Christians must believe in order to gain eterna! life. Whereas its origins are not apostolic, it reflects the teaching of the very early Church and the very logic of that teaching. In this commentary the emphasis is put on the Creed's lasting relevance for believers of the last times which actual times always are. The more the actual times are steeped in the achievements of reason, especially of its scientific kind, the more important is to see the difference which is to know and to believe. The latter, as argued from the start of this commentary, is best reserved for statements one can hold only on the authority of someone else as its only verification. The Apostles' Creed is a set of authoritative statements that has stood in good stead all Christians who know that the message of salvation is something given from above with the authority of the Son of God who teaches through the Church he founded on the Apostles.
