The authenticity of the gospel comes from its divine origin and the transformative power it holds in the lives of believers.
Scripture asserts that the gospel is not a product of human invention but is divinely revealed. Paul, who received his ministry from God, contrasts it with the earthly and man-made traditions that often obscure the truth. The transformative power of the gospel in the hearts of those who believe serves as evidence of its divine source. This transformation, which brings life from death, confirms that the gospel is the light of God illuminating the darkness of human understanding. Therefore, it is experienced and known by those whom God has called and saved by His grace.
