acts 10: 39-43 and we Apostles are witnesses of all he did throughout Judea and in Jerusalem they put him to death by hanging him on a cross but God raised him to life on the third day then God allowed him to appear not to the general public but to us whom God had chosen in advance to be his Witnesses we were those who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead and he ordered us to preach everywhere and to testify that Jesus is the one appointed by God to be the judge of all the living and the dead he is the one all the prophets testified about saying that everyone who believes in him will have their sins forgiven through his name whether someone is an apostle or a disciple the most important thing is this Christ died for our sins just as the scriptures said First Corinthians 15:3 for there is only one message of good news that should be preached we need to defend the faith that God has entrusted once for all time to his holy people Jude 1:3
