Why is witnessing important for Christians?

Christians are called to be witnesses of Christ, as outlined by the Apostle Paul in Acts 26:16-23. This task of bearing witness is a vital part of the believer's life, linking directly to the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20), where Jesus commands His followers to make disciples of all nations. Witnessing not only glorifies God but also provides opportunities for others to hear the message of salvation. Our testimonies, whether in personal discussions or public declarations, share the glory of God with those who are lost and may be seeking or open to the truth of the Gospel.
