Living Witness – is a teaching to help us become what the Lord has called us to be, a living witness for the Lord. While this may sound like a simple thing to do, it is not. Being called to be a witness of God, comes with a lot of responsibility and accountability. We cannot be what the Word of God calls a false witness, one who pours out lies and falsehoods about God, when the Lord has not led, nor spoken to them. We cannot be a witness of God, when our desire is for greed, to make a name for ourselves, or to have others worship us. A false witness never keeps to the Word of God, they are always wandering off, speaking of their desires and not God’s. We have to be a truthful witness for God, one whose words come from God’s Word, one who listens to the voice of Christ and is led by the Spirit. We know we are a living witness because what we testify of is God, and not ourselves. We know we are a living witness of God because the things we testify of is that which God has poured into us, that which the Lord has reshaped in us, so our testimony is real and not fake. We live it, it changed us, and now we testify of it. We are a witness of God’s greatness and goodness, of the loving-kindness of Christ Jesus, and the many things the Lord worked out in our lives. We live it, we are faithful to it, we testify of it.
