Title: Testify of the Facts of Jesus Christ Meta: The Bible calls us to testify of the facts of Jesus Christ, who is the eternal Word of God, who took on flesh, and in His ministry healed men to show us that He can heal us of our sins. He died in our place to pay for our sins and then rose from the dead and ever lives in heaven to receive those who come to Him.
