Testifying of Grace
Discipleship S.T.E.P.S.: Share
Scripture: But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God. – Acts 20:24 (KJV)
The testimony of God’s grace is the most potent tool in the believer’s arsenal. Paul’s resolve in Acts 20 shows us that our lives are not our own; we have received a ministry from the Lord Jesus to share the good news that rescued us. When you share your story, you are not just talking about yourself; you are giving a firsthand account of the transformative power of the Gospel, which has the potential to move hearts that are otherwise closed to the truth.
Do not let the fear of being misunderstood keep you silent. There is someone in your life—a friend a coworker or a neighbor—who is waiting to see how grace has worked in your life so that they might find hope for their own. Be bold in your witness today trusting that your simple authentic story of grace is exactly what the Holy Spirit wants to use to draw someone closer to Him.
