John 1:14-18; 3:16-18 Who we say Christ is is who we are. The Creeds correct our erroneous views about Jesus by teaching us first that Jesus is the begotten of the Father (not created, like us). That he is LORD (Yahweh himself). And, finally, that he is the Christ (Messiah). All of this reminds us that we need a savior, not just an example.
