The Nicene Creed is rightly famous for its strong affirmation of the deity of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. This is most clear in its assertion that the Son is “of one substance with the Father.” But what is perhaps less well known is that the Nicene Creed not only affirms his deity but the way in which he possesses that deity. The Creed affirms that the Son possesses deity by being eternally “begotten” of the Father. Because he is eternally begotten of the Father, he possesses the same divine essence as the Father.
