The gospels are true because they are the revelation of God’s promised redemption confirmed through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The truth of the gospels is established through the prophetic writings and the historical reality of Jesus Christ's life and work. The New Testament letters affirm that Jesus’ coming is the fulfillment of God’s promises made throughout Scripture. Paul declares in Romans that the mystery of God’s plan was kept secret for long ages and is now revealed, emphasizing that it is not just an intellectual exercise but a divine work that transforms lives. The faith granted to believers is based on the assurance of Christ's completed work, which brings about the obedience of faith as articulated in Romans 1:5. Thus, the gospels are true as they convey the unchanging truth of God’s sovereign grace in salvation.
