Paul the Apostle, life, Christ, truths worth fighting for

And Paul went in, as was his custom, and for three weeks he argued with them from the scriptures, explaining and proving that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead. So he argued in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who chanced to be there and he entered the synagogue and for three months spoke boldly, arguing and pleading about the kingdom of God and he expounded the matter to them from morning till evening, testifying to the kingdom of God and trying to convince them about Jesus both from the law of Moses and from the prophets. And some were convinced from what he said, while others disbelieved. Acts 17:2-3,17, 19:8, 28:23-4

John Locke Quote about Reason and Revelation, Truth

"Revelation is natural reason enlarged by a new set of discoveries communicated
by God immediately, which reason vouches the truth of by the testimony and
proofs it gives that they come from God. So that he that takes away reason to
make way for revelation, puts out the light of both; and does much the same as
if he would persuade a man to put out his eyes, the better to receive the remote
light of an invisible star by a telescope."

John Locke in An Essay Concerning Human Understanding.
