Since we find it testified that without faith it is
impossible to please God, and that he that would
37
come to God must believe that there is a God, and
that he is a rewarder of them that seek him: therefore,
we confess with the mouth, and believe with
the heart, with all the pious, according to the holy
Scriptures, in one eternal, almighty, and incomprehensible
God, the Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
and in none more, nor in any other; before whom
no God was made or existed, nor shall there be any
after him: for of him, and through him, and in him,
are all things; to him be praise and honor forever
and ever, Amen. Heb. 11:6; Deut. 6:4; Gen.
17:1; Is. 46:8; 1 John 5:7; Rom. 11:36.

Of this same one God, who worketh all in all, we
believe and confess that he is the Creator of all
things visible and invisible; that he, in six days,
created, made, and prepared, heaven and earth,
and the sea, and all that in them is; and that he still
governs and upholds the same and all his works
through his wisdom, might, and the word of his
power. 1 Cor. 12:6; Gen. 1; Acts 14:15.

And when he had finished his works, and had
ordained and prepared them, each in its nature and
properties, good and upright, according to his
pleasure, he created the first man, the father of us
all, Adam; whom he formed of the dust of the
ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of
life, so that he became a living soul, created by God
in his own image and likeness, in righteousness and
holiness, unto eternal life. He regarded him above
all other creatures, endowed him with many high
and glorious gifts, placed him in the pleasure garden
or paradise, and gave him a command and prohibition;
afterwards he took a rib from Adam, made
a woman therefrom, and brought her to him, joining
and giving her to him for a helpmate, companion
and wife; and in consequence of this he also
caused, that from this first45 man Adam, all men that
dwell upon the whole earth have descended. Gen.
1:27; 2:7,17,18,22.
