Pastor’s Pen

Beloved, the account of Paul’s testimony is narrated three times in the Book of Acts, first as a matter of history and twice in addresses by Paul. Each time some special facts were told as the occasion demanded. Paul probably told the story often as he went from place to place bearing the message of the Gospel and endeavoring to convince men of its truth. An experience like that would always be so clear in his memory that he could, without time for preparation, tell any part of it which seemed to be needed to enforce the truth which he was presenting.

Beloved, Your personal testimony is one of the most powerful tools you have to share the Gospel. No one can really argue with your testimony because it is subjective! It is your experience! When you tie your subjective experience with the objective truth of Scripture…it is an unbeatable combination!
​
Like Paul there are three parts to our testimony. The first part is about our life before we became a Christian. How was our life before knowing Christ? What were the desires of our heart? The second part of our testimony would be how we became a Christian. What was the situation? How did we come to know God? Did we pray and ask Christ to come into our life. The third part of sharing our testimony is after we became a Christian. What difference has knowing Christ made in our life? Beloved, your testimony is powerful. Use it
