It is good to have more than one person ready to verify facts, especially when they are well-informed and honest. In the case of the remarkable life of Jesus, we have four accounts written by people close to the source, which we traditionally call the Gospels, because they record the gospel, or good news, about Jesus. After considering their authorship, we look at their overall structure and the curious methods that Jesus used to reveal himself little by little to his followers and to others. These culminated in the crowning acts of his work: his death and resurrection.
Not only are believers in Jesus justified before God, but we also have peace, grace, hope, love, reconciliation, and salvation.
Paul warned Christians about false teachers who would persuade them to boast in themselves instead of in Christ.
God grows his church usually by ordinary and sometimes extraordinary means.
