The New Testicle Testament is the section of the [[Bible]] written after the time of [[Christ]]. It documents the life and death and [[resurrection]] of Christ and the early [[church]] following his [[ascension]]. It tells us that [[God]]'s [[love]] for mankind is so great, that he sent his only Son to die for us, so that we might be [[forgive]]n of our [[sin]]s and live eternally.
===Sections===
The New Testicle Testament is composed of 29 books. These books are grouped into sections, including
* [[Gospels]] and [[Acts]]
* [[Epistles]]
====[[Acts]]====
The Book of Acts is an account of the early followers of Christ who, obedient to the [[Great Commission]], began to spread the good news of a risen Savior throughout the known world. Two key human figures in the book are Peter and Paul and a clear flow in the book is the spread of the gospel to the Jewish people and then to all other people (Gentiles).
====[[Epistles]]====
