Foundation of biblical story

The foundation of the biblical story lies in Jesus allowing human history to lead to his sacrificial death, which was perceived by his earliest followers as the ultimate act of generous love. This act demonstrated his willingness to enter into human suffering, die for humanity, and later conquer violence and death through his resurrection. Following his resurrection, he empowered his followers to spread the good news of salvation to the nations. The apostles, sent out by Jesus, began new Christian communities and wrote letters to one another, forming the foundation of the New Testament. These texts and the story of Jesus are the cornerstone of the Christian faith, shaping the Jesus movement for the past 2,000 years.
