What is the significance of being a 'chosen witness'?

Answered in 1 source

Being a 'chosen witness' signifies that God intentionally reveals Himself to certain individuals for the purpose of spreading the gospel.

In Acts 10, the concept of 'chosen witnesses' is highlighted when Peter speaks of those whom God showed His risen Son. This means that the witnesses had a unique role in God's redemptive plan. From a sovereign grace perspective, it reinforces the idea that God sovereignly selects individuals to bear witness to His grace. Chosen witnesses have the responsibility to share the truth of the gospel, thereby participating in God's design for evangelism. This encourages believers that their faith is not merely coincidental but is part of a divine purpose where God actively engages in the lives of His people, revealing His glory through them.
