The truth of the gospel is confirmed through the transformative experiences of believers and the historical accounts of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection as found in Scripture.
The truth of the gospel is underscored by the testimony of Scripture and the lives transformed by its message. As Paul emphasized in his letters, the gospel revolves around the historical events of Jesus Christ's death and resurrection, attested by numerous witnesses. Furthermore, the faith of individuals who respond to the gospel, evidenced through their repentance and transformation, serves as a powerful confirmation of its truth. Romans 10:17 states, 'Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God,' evidencing that the message of the gospel is both a divine revelation and a means through which God saves His people.
