The Jerusalem Creed

Adapted by the First Fruits of Zion

1. 1

   We believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the creator of heaven and earth, who chose Israel as His covenant people and through whom He has brought salvation to the world.

2. 2

   We believe in Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah, God's promised redeemer for both Jew and Gentile, who lived, died, and rose again, bringing forgiveness, reconciliation, and eternal life for all who trust in Him.

3. 3

   We affirm the unity of God's people, both Jew and Gentile, as one family in Messiah, each called to honor their distinct identities while walking together in love and faithfulness.

4. 4

   We uphold the instructions of the Torah, fulfilled and illuminated by the Messiah as a guide for righteous living, recognizing that Gentiles are not required to become Jews to be saved, but are grafted into the promises of Israel by grace through faith.

5. 5

   We await the return of Messiah when He will establish His kingdom on the earth, bringing peace, justice, and restoration to all creation. Amen.
