2-04. Witnessing for Christ Shows Salvation

"You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, even to the remotest part of the earth" (Acts 1:8).

These are amongst the last audible words of Yahshua (Jesus) on earth. It is His commission to all who know and love Him.

As a believer you are Yahweh's "workmanship, created in Yahshua haMashiach (Jesus Christ) for good works". When you witness for Christ "it is Yahweh (God) who is at work in you". "By the power of the Holy Spirit", you give forth "God's message": "that Christ died for our sins...was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures". And "that through His Name everyone who believes in Him has received forgiveness of sins".

As you obey the Lord "you should go and bear fruit", for He "is able to do exceeding abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us".

Begin witnessing like Andrew who "found first his own brother Simon...and he brought him to Yahshua (Jesus)".

Go obediently like Philip whom Yahweh told to "arise and go" and "he arose and went". He met an unsaved man from Ethiopia. He "opened his mouth, and ... preached Yahshua (Jesus) to him".

"And this gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a witness to all nations".

Do you see that you are to witness and the Holy Spirit is the source of your power to tell others of Yahshua (Jesus)? If so, say:

"I will obey Christ's command to witness depending on power by the Holy Spirit."

Take the scriptures that have been taught you thus far (make a print out or photocopy of these articles if you wish) and teach them to the unsaved person Yahweh leads you to. Read him or her the scriptures. Invite the one to whom you witness to be your guest in Church or a gospel meeting. Pray that he will confess Christ publicly, be baptized, and serve Yahweh giving Him "glory in the Church". Your witness is not complete until the one you win becomes a witness for Christ.
