When the apostles preached the gospel of Jesus in the book of Acts, the religious leaders were furious and wanted to put them to death.
"But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, who was honored by all the people, stood up in the Sanhedrin and ordered that the men be put outside for a little while. then he addressed them: "Men of Israel, consider carefully what you intend to do to these men. Some time ago Theudas appeared, claiming to be somebody, and about four hundred men rallied to him. He was killed, all his followers were dispersed, and it all came to nothing. After him, Judas the Galilean appeared in the days of the census, and led an band of people in revolt. He too was killed, and all his followers were scattered. Therefore, in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail. but if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God." Acts 5:34-39
So, here it is over two thousand years later, and His gospel is as alive as ever. I will conclude then, that it is from God!
