Our Christian Witness

Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom. Colossians 1:28 ESV.

All Christians are witnesses; they are either sharing what Christ has done in their lives by word and deed, or they are not. Some are negative witnesses; others keep silent about their faith, and others are quick to proclaim that Christ saves from sin. Every believer should desire to share this great news. There is no substitute for the witness of the facts of the gospel—the Holy Scriptures. The apostle Paul gave an example of such witness: “I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you. . . . that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day” (1 Corinthians 15:1, 3–4). For those who fear to speak out, let the Word of God speak for you. Satan will do everything he can to make you fearful, but he cowers at the spoken and written Word of God because he knows its power. Quoting Scripture is the one thing the devil cannot stand; it defeats him every time. When we witness, the Spirit of God goes before us, preparing the way, giving us the words, and granting us courage. But this does not come without knowing God’s Word. It is our responsibility to read the Bible and declare its great truths. It is the greatest honor a Christian has: to speak the very words of God.
