-In the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach, 2 until the day when he was taken up, after he had given commands through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen. 3 He presented himself alive to them after his suffering by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.

 ** Foundation of our Faith ...**
+The foundation of faith comes from what Jesus said and did. He himself is our fundament of
+faith. It is God in father, son and holy spirit.
+You can start to dig into the foundation of faith. It is based on the biblical texts, and they
+are based on the experiences of the apostles. Heaven and earth come together here. God wants to
+be with you, to heal you, to free you, to reconcile you. God wants you to base your life on
+him, on the eternal God, on nothing less.
+This now brings both things together. The foundation of our life should be God, it should be
+father, son and holy spirit. It should be Jesus - the son of God. Only here we find a basis which
+is made to be one. He came to die for you and for me. He came to reconcile, to heal. He came to
+free us, to be fully human, in full faith and trust. Here, with him, we find our humanity! Here,
+with him, we find life, eternal life!
