Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “O People of the Book! You have nothing to stand on unless you observe the Torah, the Gospel, and what has been revealed to you from your Lord.”(Al-Ma’idah 5:68)
The Word of your Lord has been perfected in truth and justice. None can change His Words. And He is the All-Hearing, All- Knowing. (Surah Al-An’am 6:115)

Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, 2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. 3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that He was seen by Cephas(Peter) , then by the twelve. 6 After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once (1 Corinthians 15)
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. -Jesus (John 3:16)
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)
Non Christian Roman Historians observing the Gospel / Injeel
- Annals by Cornelius Tacitus Year 14-68 AD –
“Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilatus,” - THE ANTIQUITIES OF THE JEWS by Flavius Josephus Year ~37AD – 100 AD , See Book 18 CH3
Now there was about this time Jesus, a wise man, if it be lawful to call him a man; for he was a doer of wonderful works, a teacher of such men as receive the truth with pleasure. He drew over to him both many of the Jews and many of the Gentiles.He was the Christ. And when Pilate, at the suggestion of the principal men amongst us, had condemned him to the cross, those that loved him at the first did not forsake him; for he appeared to them alive again the third day; as the divine prophets had foretold these and ten thousand other wonderful things concerning him. And the tribe of Christians, so named from him, are not extinct at this day.

And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.” – Jesus (John 3:17-19)
