We Must Be Effective Witnesses To Jesus (Titus 3:3-8)

“For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another.

But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 

This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works."

(Titus 3:3-8)

To be an effective witness for Christ, we must be united with Him not only have knowledge of Him.

John the Apostle speaks of this in his first epistle, chapter one, when he saying, “That which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at, and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of Life.” (John 1:1-3) 

Today we, who have experienced new life in Christ, have to give an account of His love and forgiveness, both verbally and in the way we live our lives. This is witnessing.

To be effective in our witness, we should remember that the theme of our witness is Jesus Christ.

An important part of this theme is the fact that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation, not just one of many ways.

Jesus said in the Gospel of John, chapter fourteen, “I am the way, the truth and the life.

No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6) 

The power of our witness is the Holy Spirit. 

It is the Spirit who transforms a life, and a transformed life is evident to all. 

As we witness, we should spend much time in prayer, appropriating the Spirit’s power so that we are enabled to let our light shine in such a way that others will recognize the power of God in us.

The validity of our witness will be shown in how we live our lives.

The effective Christian witness will live his or her life above reproach in the power of the Holy Spirit, whose fruit we exhibit when we remain in Christ.

St. Peter in his first epistle, chapter three said, “Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have” (1 Peter3:15) 

So the most important thing to witness the goodness and the love of Jesus to other people is our transformed life that has been sanctified by the work of the Holy Spirit.

St. Paul said in his epistle to the Romans, ”How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed?

And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard?

And how shall they hear without a preacher?”

So we preach the good news of the Gospel not by words but by our sanctified life.

Amen.
