★ Witnessing or Silent Christian!

That Christians should be a witness unto the LORD JESUS CHRIST, is a fact that is made very clear in the Word of GOD. That many Christians have failed to be witnesses for our LORD is also a fact,  and a very lamentable one. To be satisfied with the fact that one is saved and feels no responsibility beyond that is a sad situation,  and may cast doubt about the reality of one's faith. This should lead one to examine himself to make certain that his faith is not the kind described in James 2:26, "For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. "

It is not that every believer is expected to be an evangelist,  but every believer should seek to do the work of an evangelist,  though it may be on a very small  scale.

A believer cannot be totally silent about his faith, especially where there is freedom of religion. "It is not merely that we are saved from hell", wrote C.H.Mackintosh, "that is true; it is not merely that we are pardoned,  justified,  and accepted; all this is true, but we are called to the high and holy work of bearing through this world, The NAME, that is above all names, the testimony,  the glory, of our LORD JESUS CHRIST".

The apostle Paul quotes from psalm 116 in 2 Corinthians 4:13, saying, "We having the same spirit of faith,  according to as it is written,  I believed,  and therefore have I spoken; we also believe and therefore speak". The apostles Peter and John were not standing before friendly interrogators when they said,  "Judge for yourselves whether it is right in GOD's sight to obey man rather than GOD. For we cannot help but speak about what we have seen and heard" (Acts 4:19-20).

Are you a believer who is witnessing about CHRIST? Whether it be in big or small ways, it does not matter, as long as you witness!
JESUS CHRIST died for you in public, for all the world to see, not in private  or in secret.  HE hung on the cross in our place, publicly. Let us not be ashamed in standing up and witnessing to the world, about that JESUS. And the way to start is by firstly being a witness among your family and friends. And when you do that,  you will see that you are miraculously given, up from GOD's throne, the boldness to witness, as The LORD leads, before larger crowds whether the crowds are friendly or not.
