Be a Credible Witness

I can not begin to tell you how vital it is that you are a credible witness for Jesus Christ. The world has made a complete mockery of what it means to be a Christian. It is up to saints to re-define what it means to be a Christian according to the gospel of God. When you profess that you are a Christian, the world puts a microscope on your life to see what you do, how you act, and what you say.

When they see something that it contrary to what they believe a Christian is supposed be, it has detrimental affects. It then adds to the mockery and Christianity becomes a joke in their eyes. That is why your conduct, character, and commitment must be at the highest level at all times. When things in your life are wonderful, it is easy to be a Christian. The real question comes when times are difficult. For example, the gospel says that we are to be transformed from the world. That is easy when it is something you don't love or care about, but can you do it when it involves something that you cherish or love.

Whenever you feel yourself backsliding go to the hospital of Jesus, better known as 1John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us for our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." When Jesus died on the cross he forgave us for all of our sins whether they are transgressions or iniquities. God loves us with agape love and will never leave or forsake us, Hebrews 13:5.

When you are not a credible witness you disrupt 1.)plan of God, you force God to go to plan B. It shows God that you are not ready for the next progression and He can not bless you with the same favor. Stay on course so that you may receive plan A, which is God's best that He has for you. 2.) Yourself, you pick away at the relationship that you have with God. God is a jealous God and wants you to put him first at all times. 3. Others. They are looking to you to see Jesus. Since they may or may not know Jesus for themselves they are looking to you to see who He is. When they see falsehoods in you, they see falsehoods in Jesus.

Be a credible witness every day and seek the righteousness of the trinity in all that you say and do in your life.
