A witness is one qualified to
give testimony to a place or thing.
A Christian is one qualified to
give testimony in relation to
Jesus Christ.
Our testimoii } * should have the
qualitv of personal knowledge
and experience of the Lord's
goodness.
The influence of the witness
will be determined by the
character of the witness him
self.
self.A
A witness must be seen and
heard to be of value.
There is a reward for honest
and faithful witnessing.
The reward of faithful witness
ing for God will be opportunity
for more witnessing.
