How We Got the New Testament

How did we get the New Testament, and why can it be trusted today?

This message explores how God has revealed ultimate truth through His Word and why Scripture remains reliable despite skepticism, conspiracy thinking, or cultural pressure. By examining how the 27 books of the New Testament were recognized—through apostolicity, orthodoxy, and catholicity—the sermon shows that the Bible we hold today was carefully received, not randomly assembled. Believers are encouraged to engage Scripture with curiosity, humility, and courage, choosing to win people rather than arguments while walking in the light of truth.

At its heart, the Bible exists to lead us to Jesus so that we may believe and have life in His name. Trusting Scripture ultimately calls us to entrust ourselves to Christ and live transformed lives shaped by His truth.
