Justified True Belief

(●) According to the disciples and eye-witness biblical authors of the New Testament gospels, Jesus of Nazareth is the eternal Son of God who entered history as the long‑promised Messiah of Israel. Born in Bethlehem to the virgin Mary during the reign of Herod the Great, He grew up in Nazareth, worked as a carpenter, and began His public ministry around age thirty after being baptized by John the Baptist and affirmed by the Father and the Holy Spirit. Proclaiming the kingdom of God, Jesus taught with unique authority, performed miracles, healings, exorcisms, and gathered disciples, especially the twelve apostles, while calling people to repentance and faith in Him. He fulfilled Old Testament prophecy in His life, death, and resurrection, and confronted both legalistic religion and spiritual hypocrisy of the Jewish religious leaders. Under the Roman governor Pontius Pilate, Jesus was crucified outside Jerusalem as a substitutionary sacrifice for human sin, foretold in Scripture and grounded in real space‑time history as true historical event. On the third day, He physically rose bodily from the dead, appeared to many witnesses, and commissioned His followers to proclaim the gospel to all nations, then ascended into heaven, where He reigns as Lord and will visibly return to judge the living and the dead and fully establish His kingdom.
