Quote: Witness

~ How Do You Define a Witness? ~

Do you have what you need to be a witness?

The following is an excerpt from a book.

In Acts 1:8 our Lord Jesus Christ tells us, “You shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth” (Acts 1:8).

What is a witness? You perform the role of a witness as you go about your daily life. When you attend an exciting game of sports you have no hesitation to tell others about what you experienced and the excitement you felt. At times you might be called to a court of law to tell the court what you saw or what you know about a particular event. A witness is not responsible for theory or explanations—only to tell what he knows from first-hand experience. Jesus tells us to be a witness about Him and His saving work in our lives!

God, through His sovereign will, is responsible for the results. You are only responsible for obedience, and witnessing is one of your responsibilities before God.

Your school, your job, your neighborhood, and all of your activities provide opportunity to witness about what you know from experience.

~ from “THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH: Understanding God’s Will for You” by Robert Lloyd Russell, pg 60 (ISBN: 9781606474303)
