Be A Witness For God

Be a witness for God

“I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.”
John 3:5

Salvation is not achieved by human effort or merit but comes through God’s mercy alone. God’s plan is that all men have the opportunity to be born again, and the gospel of salvation has been heard throughout our nation. There is no excuse for anyone in our country to not have had the privilege of hearing about God. We all have been given the choice to accept Jesus as our savior, however so many have turned their backs on this offer of eternal life. As Christians we have the responsibility to continue the quest to bring non believers to accept Christ as their savior. We all have opportunities each day to be a witness for Jesus to the people we come into contact with. Our jobs, our neighborhoods and our friends, all provide us the opportunity to be a witness for God wherever we go. Our acts of kindness, encouragement, giving, compassion and love for our fellow man are examples of how we can be a witness. All of us are evangelists for God wherever we go, and our duty is to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. To bring someone to the Kingdom of God should be one of our primary objectives each day, and we should seek out opportunities all around us to complete this objective. The field is ripe for harvest but the workers are few. It is easy to be an example for God’s spirit in our lives by our actions, our speech and our behavior. We must walk the talk daily and obey God and his commands, and when we do we will stand out in the crowd as a beacon for someone that is lost. We will be able to be their lighthouse, and draw them toward God by our actions and behavior. John 3:3 “I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.”
