Re: The Early Christians: Creed, Confession and Scripture

You can see that the crucified Christ possesses the hidden power of God: 
every demon, in fact all and every power and authority on earth, trembles 
before him.

The Word revealed that the nations shall believe in him. You can see it 
with your own eyes, for we who are men of all nationalities have become 
God-fearing and righteous through our faith in Christ, and we wait for his

future coming.
