Witnessing
by Linda Sedrick Pearson
A witness is someone who testifies of things he knows because the witness has personally seen, heard, and experienced what he testifies about. He does not tell of things he does not personally know about. It has to be things he has personally experienced through his own eyes and ears.
If you have been struggling with how to witness to others, just tell what you know about God the Father and his Son Jesus Christ. Read 1 John 1:1-4 and those verses, written by the apostle John, tell you how they witnessed. They witnessed about things they knew, heard, and saw. Continue reading
Bible Study for Sep 9 2009
by Linda Sedrick Pearson
Rev 22:16-19
I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
God tells us that it is our job to put the word out there for people and to do our best to testify for him. It is up to the people to accept or reject the word and Jesus Christ. We cannot force them to accept him and should never try to do that. The word is powerful. Put the word out there. God’s word will never come back void (meaning your teachings and testimonies are never in vain). At the very least you have done what God has instructed all Christian to do – testify and teach about the Lord Jesus Christ.
We have to be careful that we don’t add or subtract from God’s word. Do not tell people that the Bible says something unless you know for a fact that is what it says. Jesus tells us in Revelation that “if any man shall add unto these things [meaning God's word], God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book. And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy God shall” remove that person’s name from the book of life, out of the new Jerusalem, and from the things (promises) which are written in this book (the Bible).
That shows us how serious God is about his word and his protection of it. Remember, your job is not to rewrite or edit the Bible. Your job is to put it out there as God gave it to us and let the people do their part to accept or reject it.
