Truth Exposed: Witness
In Acts 1:8 we read that we will be witnesses for Christ. What is a witness? The dictionary says it is one who witnesses an event. The Greek word in scripture is martys, pronounced mar-toos, and it means: those who after his example have proved the strength and genuineness of their faith in Christ by undergoing a violent death. Big difference. The disciples certainly were true biblical witnesses in every sense of the word. True Believers are witnesses of Christ by our life’s actions, but in America we are not killed; yet there are countless biblical witnesses all around the world. We have never actually witnessed Christ, but we certainly have witnessed our own regeneration in him, and proclaim his glory. Never stop telling the story.
Read carefully.
