AI OVERVIEW: Jesus died, was buried, and God raised him from the dead; the central New Testament proclamation is that he is alive, and praying in his name is meant to demonstrate that resurrection power to the world. Acts shows this: Peter and John heal the lame man in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth; the apostles declare that God raised Jesus and that the resurrection underpins their preaching and miracles. Believers are urged to rely on the Holy Spirit and the name of Jesus rather than human might, to go as witnesses to the nations, plant the flag of Jesus, and expect healings and deliverance as evidence that he is alive.
