Better Witness

A Call to Be Better Witnesses

This week, we wrapped up our series by reflecting on our role as witnesses for Christ. As followers of Jesus, we are called to share the transformative power of His love, not just with words, but with our lives. Here’s a quick recap of the key points:

1. Witnessing Is About Sharing Your Story

A witness testifies to what they’ve experienced. As Christians, we are called to share the story of how Jesus has transformed our lives. In Acts 1:8, Jesus empowers us with the Holy Spirit to be His witnesses to the world. This isn't optional—it’s our mission.

2. Let Your Light Shine

In Matthew 5:14-16, Jesus says we are the light of the world. Our faith should be visible, guiding others to Christ. Just as light is essential in darkness, our lives should reflect the hope and truth of the gospel.

3. The Gospel Is the Power of God

The gospel isn’t just a message—it’s the power of God for salvation. As Paul says in Romans 1:16, we should never be ashamed of the gospel because it has the power to change lives. We don’t have to fear sharing it.

4. Overcome Fear with Boldness

Fear can keep us from witnessing, but in 2 Timothy 1:7, we’re reminded that God gives us power, love, and self-control—not fear. When we trust the Holy Spirit, we can share the gospel with boldness and love.

Conclusion: A Better Witness in 2025

As we begin the new year, let’s commit to being better witnesses for Christ. Whether in our actions or words, our lives should testify to God’s love and power. Let’s shine His light in a world that desperately needs it and look for opportunities to share the hope we’ve found in Him.

Challenge: Who is one person you can be a witness to this week? How can you share the hope of Jesus with them? Let’s make this year a time of boldly sharing His love
