What are testimonies of faith?

• A. The Acts of the Apostles
• B. Writings or proclamations expressing belief in Jesus as Lord and Savior, such as the Gospels
• C. Historical records of kings
• D. Philosophical essays about God

Answer: (B)

Testimonies of faith are writings or proclamations expressing belief in Jesus as Lord and Savior. They witness to who Jesus is and what He has done, often in a confessional or declarative way. In practice, this can appear as personal stories of coming to faith, as creeds, or in the Gospel accounts themselves, which present Jesus in a way that invites trust and belief. The Gospels are classic examples because they explicitly confess Jesus’ identity and saving work, not merely recounting events. Other options describe documents that don’t function as confessions of faith in Jesus in the same way: they may narrate church history, catalog kings, or explore God philosophically, but they don’t primarily serve as testimonies of belief in Jesus as Lord and Savior.
