Summarizing
the evidence presented thus far gives encouragement to those seeking
to know the truth about Jesus and the scriptures. The New Testament
has been shown to have been written by those who were eyewitnesses
or close associates of the eyewitnesses to the life of Jesus. Their
testimony has proven to be detailed, accurate and reliable. The
text of the New Testament has been demonstrated to be genuine and
trustworthy based on the vast manuscript evidence available today.
The written record of the documents establishes the true identity
of Jesus as God's only unique Son speaking with divine authority.
Jesus affirmed the divine origin of the Old and New Testament documents
in the words which He spoke and the promises He made. His testimony
and teaching as the Son of God regarding the divine origin of the
scriptures is authoritative and is the cornerstone of this vital
doctrine.
