Synopsis
When we look back to the first century after Jesus death and resurrection, we see that Christians practiced a simple faith. They followed the instructions of Jesus and his inspired followers-men like Paul, Peter, and John. Today we have these instructions in the letters and books of the New Testament. Surely all Christians can agree on these teachings! So we try very hard to model our Christian life on the church described in the New Testament.
