These early Christians, who were willing to face persecution and death to follow Jesus, fully realized that being a Christian would be senseless if Jesus ’ ministry and resurrection were mere fantasy. ​ — 1 Corinthians 15: 3 - 8, 17, 19; 2 Timothy 2: 2.
Orang - orang Kristen masa awal ini, yang rela menghadapi penganiayaan dan kematian demi mengikuti Yesus, sadar sepenuhnya bahwa sia - sialah mereka menjadi orang Kristen jika pelayanan dan kebangkitan Yesus hanyalah fantasi. ​ — 1 Korintus 15: 3 - 8, 17, 19; 2 Timotius 2: 2.
