Being God’s witnesses means that we testify to His grace and mercy through our experiences of salvation.
Isaiah 43:10 highlights the role of God's people as witnesses, saying, 'Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord.' This calling to witness is grounded in our personal experiences of God's grace and salvation. Just as the apostles bore witness to Christ's resurrection, Christians today are called to share their testimonies of how God has worked in their lives. Our witness is not based on hearsay but on firsthand experiences of grace, as we have seen and felt God's mercy. This makes our witness powerful and authentic, as it comes from a place of deep personal knowledge and relationship with God. Furthermore, our lives reflect the truth of God’s sovereignty, mercy, and salvific work, encouraging others to seek the same understanding.
