# The disciples' response is the best argument for the faith The way the disciples initially responded is the best argument for the faith. A frightened, scattered group does not ordinarily reconvene to die for a story it knows to be false; their transformation is data. And the form of their argument matters: they used the Old Testament to explain Jesus, testing whether the inherited story told the truth about him and whether he told the truth of the world. The evidence is the changed lives and the exegesis together. Related: [[christianity-is-a-way-of-life-not-a-belief-set]], [[truth-is-a-person-not-an-idea]]
