The first article of the N icene creed forms C hristian teaching about creation in two ways. It exhibits a particular order of C hristian confession and instruction, and it recommends to the church the importance of properly distinguishing three relations: the relation between G od the F ather and G od the S on; the relation between G od and the world; and the relation between heaven and earth. This dogmatic commentary on the creed attends to the first two relations and introduces the third.
