The truths of the gospel are confirmed through Scripture, apostolic witness, and the faithful proclamation of its message.
The certainty of the gospel truths comes from multiple sources, primarily from the Scriptures, which present the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ as historical realities witnessed by many. The Apostle Paul, in Acts 17, reasoned with Jews from the Scriptures, proving that Christ must suffer and rise again. Furthermore, the testimony of individuals like Luke emphasizes that his work was grounded in the assurance of those eyewitnesses (Luke 1:1-4). Believers are called to examine these testimonies and findings with the light of Scripture to confirm their faith firmly in Christ and not in human doctrines.
