Why Be A Witness To The Lost

Who are you witnessing to?

People are watching you. They are examining the christian life. Are we confusing them? Are we hurting the cause of Christ by just listening to the word and not being doers of the word? Are we giving them a reason not to take that step of faith to accept Christ?

Witnessing is taking a good look at Jesus then telling others what you hve seen. Witnessing isn't an activity, it's a way of life - good or bad. Witnessing is simply sharing our heartfelt faith in Christ - what He's personally done to change our lives. Witnessing isn't an effort, it's an overspill.

Witnessing won't always be easy and many times be unpopular. However we have to overcome our fears because the lives of the lost in our world lie in our hands. You can never speak to the wrong person about Christ. We are a representitive of the kingdom. We are the hands that God uses to touch people.

The strongest way to be a witness for Christ is to walk in His ways and live in His freedom.
We're not called to argue or debate anyone into heaven. We're called to share. We're called to be a witness for the gospel, not the lawyer, judge or jury ... Leave that to God.

Sharing Christ  is about being real and demonstrating our faith with passion, conviction and sincerity. In order to witness one must have experienced something and be sure about it.
Christianity is contagious; but if christians quarratine themselves, no-one will ever catch what they have.
God cannot use christians to witness to the lost if they are in too much of a hurry to stop and listen to people Much can be done for the kingdom of God if christians will leave margins in their schedule.
Christ has given a clear command to every christian to go and make disciples.

Who will you witness to this week?
