What if a single message could ignite a renewed purpose within you? Last Sunday, Pastor Renen's preaching, "CALLED TO WITNESS" (Spread the Word, Save the World), did just that. Drawn from Acts 1:4-8 (MBB), it was a timely and powerful call to action.
A profound truth echoes: God is in the business of saving souls. He has always called people to be His witnesses, to stand as living testaments to the boundless love, overflowing grace, and undeniable goodness they've personally encountered in Him.
The primary testimony of these witnesses is that Jesus is alive. His resurrection isn't mere hearsay; it's a confirmed reality, proven by His own powerful appearances after suffering. The content of this testimony is the Good News of Salvation, a message that, even in this modern era, remains the single most effective tool for evangelism
Today, As Christ’s believers and disciples, why do we have to witness/testify?
1. Because Jesus loves the soul of the mankind. (John 3:16). He gave everything for the soul of mankind.
2. Because God wants everyone to be saved. (1 Timothy 2:3-6). His desire is for every individual to find redemption.
3. Because it is the main calling of the church. (Matthew 28:19-20). We are commanded to go, make disciples, and spread this life-altering truth.
4. Because we are accountable to God for the blood of mankind. (Ezekiel 3:16-21). The blood of humanity, in a sense, rests on our hands if we remain silent.
5. Because Jesus will surely return. (1 Thessalonians 5:1-2). "THE DAY OF THE LORD" is coming—a day of judgment, deliverance, and His second coming, including the rapture of believers.
6. Because the end is near. (Matthew 24:3-14). The signs are clear, urging us to act with urgency and purpose.
In essence, this message stresses witnessing is a divine command, driven by God’s love and the imminent return of Christ. This makes sharing the Gospel not just a duty, but an urgent and vital responsibility for every single believer.
Are you ready to embrace this powerful calling and share the Good News with those around you?
