What is The First Article?

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.

That is...

I believe that God has made me and all other creatures; that He has given me body and soul, eyes, ears, and all other members, my reason, and all my senses.

I also believe that He preserves all He has made, and that He daily provides me with all I need; giving me clothing and food, home and family, and every good thing.

I further believe that He protects me from all danger, and keeps me from all evil; not because I have deserved it, but because He is a loving and merciful Father.

For all these blessings it is my duty to serve Him thankfully and obediently all the days of my life.

All this is certainly true.
