How do we know the divine origin of Christianity is true?

Answered in 1 source

The success of Christianity, despite its humble beginnings and the poverty of its first ministers, indicates its divine origin.

The divine origin of Christianity is substantiated by the remarkable success of its initial followers, who were a group of poor and unlearned men, as mentioned in Acts 4:13. They did not possess wealth, influence, or power; rather, they were primarily fishermen and tax-collectors. The fact that these humble apostles were able to spread the Gospel and transform the Roman Empire without any earthly support or coercion speaks volumes about the authenticity and divine backing of their mission. The stark contrast between their lack of resources and the monumental impact they made reveals that the Church was established not by human effort but by the Spirit of God, fulfilling Zechariah 4:6 which states, 'not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit.'
