Do you believe that the sacrifice of Jesus, God incarnate, is the only adequate payment for your sins (1 John 2:2; John 14:6; Acts 4:12)? Do you believe these things? If so, great, but believing the facts about Jesus is only part of the equation. Biblical faith/belief is far more than believing certain things to be true. These things make me believe in Jesus Christ. 2 Second, the scriptures testify of the Savior. When the prophet Mormon from the Book of Mormon had only a little bit of space left on the plates and knew that he was going to die very soon, he wrote what he thought would be the most important thing we should know. In “Of Miracles,” Hume claims to have discovered an argument that will check what he calls “all superstitious delusion.”. It is based on this definition of a miracle: “A transgression of He is anticipated in the Old Testament and explicated in the New Testament. He is the heart, focus and centre of it all.

There is a self-authenticating glory in the gospel of Christ’s death and resurrection as narrated by the biblical witnesses. “The Holy Spirit opens our eyes to the glory of Christ in his life, death, and resurrection.”. The New Testament teaches that God sent the Holy Spirit to glorify Jesus as the Son of God. To truly follow Christ means to make Him the Boss.
