How do we know that God preserves witnesses for Himself?

Answered in 1 source

God's preservation of witnesses is evident throughout Scripture, highlighting His sovereignty over His church and His purposes.

The Bible assures us that God will always preserve a witness for Himself, as exemplified in the transition from Stephen to Saul (later Paul). Despite the loss of Stephen, who was a man of significant service, God's plans for His church remain intact and unthwarted. This truth ensures believers can trust that God is always raising up individuals to fulfill His purpose. Just as Elisha was prepared to succeed Elijah, God has an endless supply of faithful witnesses ready to proclaim His gospel, reminding us that human efforts are transient, but God's sovereignty endures. Isaiah 55:10-11 further confirms that God's word will accomplish what He desires, reinforcing the assurance that His work will continue through chosen vessels.
