Orthodoxy as the Thrill of Christian Faith

Orthodoxy is not a boring or stuffy aspect of the Christian faith. It is actually the thrilling adventure of following Christ. The creeds, such as the Apostles' and Nicene creeds, summarize the core of Christian orthodoxy and provide a bulwark of biblical truth. The beauty of orthodoxy lies in its ability to hold together seemingly opposing truths, such as the divinity and humanity of Jesus Christ. While heresies narrow down and distort these truths, orthodoxy embraces their fullness and ensures the endurance of the faith. Orthodoxy is not a simplistic or narrow belief system, but rather a rich and expansive understanding of who God is and what He has done for us.
