"We are all witnesses of these things"

In Acts 10:39, Peter said, "And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: …" The apostles were eyewitnesses (1 Peter 5:1; 1 John 1:1-4). How do we know they told the truth? If they did not tell the truth, then the gospel would be a sham, and there would be no reason whatsoever to put one's faith in it.

But the testimony of miracles, signs, and wonders affirm that God's word is the truth. After seeing the miracle of her son being raised from the dead, the widow of Zarephath said to Elijah, "Now by this I know that thou art a man of God, and that the word of the Lord in thy mouth is truth" (1 Kings 17:26). Secular history, such as the history of Alexander the Great, could be accurate or it could be inaccurate, but the scriptures have a testimony which confirms it to all of us (Mark 16:17-20; Hebrews 2:1-4). The real question is, will you obey it and let it become a part of your life, to guide you in your decisions? Contact us if you would like further study.
