How do we know the gospel is true?

Answered in 383 sources

The truth of the gospel is confirmed by the historical facts of Christ's death and resurrection, as witnessed by many, and is grounded in Scripture (Romans 1:16, 1 Corinthians 15:5-8).

The gospel is grounded in objective historical events as articulated in Scripture. The eyewitness accounts of Christ's death and resurrection, with testimony from over five hundred witnesses, affirm the validity of this good news. Furthermore, the gospel's significance is woven throughout the Old Testament prophecies, which anticipated these events and detailed their implications for salvation, encompassing God's sovereign plan for His people.
