Religious scholar, Dr. F.F. Bruce says: “If the New Testament were a collection of secular writings, the authenticity would generally be regarded as beyond all doubt” (Bruce, The New Testament Documents: Are they reliable?). To prove a book historically accurate three things are needed: Bibliographical evidence, external evidence, and internal evidence.

Biographical evidence is based on the number of manuscripts that can be found. The New Testament alone consists of 24,633 manuscripts (Josh McDowell, Revised Evidence that Demands a Verdict). No other historical book comes even close to this mountain of evidence.

Some of the best atheistic minds have tried to prove that the evidence for Christ’s resurrection did not exist. However, anyone who sets out to honestly study the evidence, converts to Christianity. To name just two: Harvard Legal Professor, Dr. Simon Greenleaf; and Auckland University History Professor, Dr. Edward Musgrave Blaiklock.

When Jesus made the claim that he was the Messiah, the Son of God, he forced everyone to make a choice.

Mark 14:61–62 (ESV) — 61 But he remained silent and made no answer. Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?” 62 And Jesus said, “I am, and you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.”

Friend, do you believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God? If not, the burden is now on you to prove it. If you do then the burden is now on you to share it (He Came, Died, was Buried, Ascended, & will Return).
