The Gospels present His teachings, miracles, death, and resurrection, while the Acts of the Apostles recount the spread of the early Church through the power of the Holy Spirit. The Epistles offer practical and theological guidance for believers, addressing faith, conduct, and unity within the body of Christ. The book of Revelation closes the canon with a vision of God’s ultimate triumph and the promise of eternal life.
