Commentary on Luke 1:4
The purpose statement reveals Luke's pastoral concern: 'that thou mightest know the certainty' (Greek 'asphaleia' - security, firmness). Christian faith rests on historical facts, not subjective experience or philosophical speculation. The word 'catechized' (katechethes) indicates Theophilus had received instruction but needed confirmation. This establishes the biblical pattern of teaching leading to assurance, grounded in objective historical events of Christ's life, death, and resurrection.
