The Reminder Series, Part 08 - The Gospel is Grounded in verifiable Truth Claims

The Christian message is called the gospel. This word means "good news". It is good news because it announces how a person can have their sin, guilt, and shame, forever dealt with by putting their trust is Jesus the Christ. This trust is not mere wishful thinking. On the contrary, it is grounded in verifiable truth claims. These include (i) the fulfilment of prophecies given hundreds of years before the birth of the Christ (most notably Isaiah 53); (ii) the testimonies of witnesses to the death, buriel, and physical resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth; and, (iii) the phenomenological experiences of those who put their trust in this Christ as the Saviour and God.
