Testimony

Testimony 

By Kaitlyn F.

Many of us know the importance of sharing gospel with believer and unbeliever. But sharing your testimony can be just as powerful, if not more powerful in some circumstances. When you share your testimony, you are giving people an actual example(s) of what God has done in your life. I have found that people know the gospel because it is told so often, but it is hard for some of them to take a story about what happened years ago, and believe in it today. When you share your testimony, it brings the story of the gospel into modern days. God even commanded us to share our testimony with whoever we meet. Mark 15:9 says, 

“And he did not permit him but said to him, ‘Go home to your friends and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.’”

When you share your testimony, you are telling them that the Lord has mercy on you, and you are showing them the love that he has for you.

Another thing is that your testimony can actually help someone else out. We all go through trials in our life, but we each go through different trials. But what if the trials you have experienced in the past can actually help someone out that you are talking to. God does place people in our lives that we can help.  Maybe by sharing our testimony, we may help them understand that they are not alone in their struggle. But you never know unless you give it a go.
