How We Must Witness
For Christ
When we witness for God first of
all we must receive the word of God.
We in this enlightened country of
ours can not offer the excuse that we
cur.ot receive the word, for there is
nowhere in this broad land of ours
Jerusujem, and all Judea, anil in j that we cannot hear and read the
Gospel. To receive the word we mest
welcome the word. If we are to be
witnesses for Christ we lust enjoy
the spirit of Christ. We may be criti
cized and pcrseoqted but this can be
borne becuuse of the joy that the
holy spirit will give. Ine witness for
Christ must follow Christ’s example
Sumaria, and to the uttermost
parts of the earth.

Forward with the Gospel
The Thessalonians had given up
their idols ur.d paganism. They had
proven that they were followers of
the Christ. Instead of bowing down
to man-made idols of gold, silver,
etc., they were looking for the com
ing of the Lord in all his power, maj
esty and glory. The Gospel which
they had accepted and told to the
world was the Gospel that had been
exemplified as the gospel of their
Lord, redeemer and reigning king.

learn what ye can for a model form
this ancient church. A strict study of
this lesson should make of us better
Christians. Real Christians witness
ing as the strongest means of evan
gelism is the keynote of today’s les
son. Force and excitement over
persuasion the saw dust trail and all
manner of persuasion are of later
origin. The early churih followed the
simple method laid down- by the Sav
iour. This method was not to be by
force or by power, but by God’s
spirit. “Ye shall be my witnesses”
'1 be Thessalonians are an example of
j what Christianity was ir. the early
church. They were not just Chris
tians in name but were Christians in
reality. Their religion was a part of
their very life. Paul mentions their
‘work o^f faith”, their “labor of love”
and their '"‘patience of hope”, and best
of all their tenacious hope for the
reality of their religion in, the world
to come. The Thessalonians’ religion
was not confined to the inside of tne
church, but was put into active ex
pression in their daily walks of life
Their hope in the Saviour was always
bearing fruit. They were not satisfied
in merely saying “Lord, Lord,” but
they actually did the things that he
told them to do. They were as the
builder that erected his house on the
rock. They listened to the words of
Jesus and then did them. They were
perfectly willing that the works which
they did to be used as etsl of their
faith. When we reach the point that
we are willing for our faith to be
measured by our works for God. We
are then well or., the road to that
state of religious perfection that
will safely waft us over the sea of
death into our eternal home. A re
ligion that will measure up to that of
the early Christians will be a safe
guide for us to follow. When we are
willing that for our life to be made a I
Moody, Spurgeon, the Wesleys, Lu
ther, etc., are examples of great l'ul
lowers that it might be weil for us to
emulate, but not to the neglect of a
personal following of Join. Paul
himself old the early church to follow
him as he followed Christ. Of course
this procedure was to be followed
only so long as he conformed exactly
to Christ’s example.
Inspiration to Believers
As these early followers of Christ
emulated Paul and Christ the fact
made them worthy of being emulat
ed.
Speaking the Truth
If we are to be witnesses for
Christ we must spread the truth of
Christ.
Spread the Truth
If we are to be Christ’s witnesses
we must tell the world about him.
The Thessalonian Christians person
ally spread the glad tidings into the
remote parts of their country. Their
faith in God had thu-s .been sent forth
till its tidings sounded far and wide
over the land. The truths that were
set forth from that little church In
he long ago has resounded down thru
the ages and its precepts are prac
ticed by Christians to this ay.
Influence
If we are to be witnesses for
Christ we must witness for him.
Lets examine ourselves an ascertain
whether or not our lives arre a wit
ness for Christ. Would our lives
stand the searchlight of God’s all-
seeing eye? Oil man, would we be on
the side of influence for Christ? If
we are to .witness for Christ we
must tell the glad news by our walks
before man. If we are to be wit
nesses for Christ we must so live
that the world will look upon us as
test of our faith it is then that we Christ’s witness. Our witnessing for

are a living epistle and not one of ink
and paper. What was the secret of
early Christians’ power? We find the
answer in verses 9 and 10. How they
turned to God from idols to serve the
true and living God, and to wait for
his son from heaven to deliver him
from the wrath to come. All the idols
of the world are not made of mortar
and stone. We have many idols in
our midst today. Anything that re
quires our attention and work to the
utter exclusion of God’s claim upon
us. Some of today’s idols are the
longing for fame, wealth, social po
sition, etc. When we follow this lean
exclusively we are not following the
teaching of the early church as did
the Thessalonians. As ambassadors of
God we may go to all parts of the
world and preach sermons and noth
ing else is a mistake. It is not so
much the sermon as the living of a
life that reveals the heart within. As

DOAN’S PILLS
Witnesses for Christ
There are marked several essential
features. First, we car be witnesses
by our daily life. Paul tells the Thes
salonians of his own behaviour while
he was laying the foundation of the
church at Thessallorica. He worked
here against great odds. He was wil
ling to do this for their good.
Witness by the Help of the
Holy Spirit
This is the greatest driving force
in the world when it is available in
the Holy Spirit. Those who, animated
by the holy spirit, will display this to
the world and man is sure to take
notice. When our lives are animated
by the holy spirit, we do not have to
tell people that we are a Christian.
They will know it. Also, if we are
not a Christian they will know it. We
can itness by the will of God. The
apostle wTote the church, “knowing
your election of God.” We often
hear of the doctrine of election, and
we are led to conclude that the elect
are those whose election are known
to others. They are those who have
discovered God’s will in their lives
and have displayed to others that
they have been chosen of God; be
cause of this witness to the will of
God.
Witncs in ,Hope.
Hope burns so fervently in the
breast of the believer that during
the vicissitudes ard storms of life
can be patient till those storms of
life are calmen and he can be heard
and een. This will always come to
those who witness in hope.
Witness in Faith
This is one of the most valuable
attributes of the Christian, and come?
first. Faith in the power of Almightj
God can accomplish anything for th'
ongoing of our Christian, being. We
Christ becomes as a consuming fire,
the further it goes the more It
spreads. Little do we think that
perhaps some idle word spoken may
have an influence on down thru the
ages. It is a fact that all that we say
or do will have some kind of influ
ence, and as Christ’s witness it is our
business to make witnessing for him.
Witnessing a Success for Christ
If the Gospel is to be spread it Is
preeminently important that we as
enristian people witness for the ’gos
pel. It is largely the spoken words or
walks of Godly people that the etern-
nal destiny ot many people is sealed.
Has the thought ever come to us
that we maj’ be responsible for the
eternal destiny of some human be
ing? It is through God’s witnesses
that he informs mankind of their du
ty to him. The Holy Bible is a wit
ness for God the reason that inspired
men penned God’s will so that count
less millions throughout ail the ages
can in turn read, heed and become
witnesses for him. In the light of
these facts man is not so important
a being as some might have us think
and that our responsibility is a
question that should be uppermost in
our minds as to how we were to use
that responsibility. Christianity is as
assertive today as it was in the past
when the little Thessialonian church
wielded such an influence that pagans
were converted to Christianity. One
of the assertive powers of the Chris
tian is with the non-christian is that
they may not be a Christian they are
impressed with people who are wit
nesses. That should be a great conso
lation to the Christian to know that
they have pointed the way to some
traveler down the avenues of time
though they were not Christians. We
are then impressed with the im
mensity of what it means to be a
Christian. Those iwhb witness for
Christ are always happy over the
fact for they are impressed that they
have performed a duty that will win
favor with the '"’hrist who in turn
will lie our intercessor to the Fatner
The witness for Christ not only bene
fits himself by so doing, but is made
to know that he has helped some
weary sojourner onward and upward.
Inspiration
The witness for Christ is an in
spiration for others. I’aul is a strong
example o'f this. His life before the
Thesalonians that they become quali
fied to render similar service to that
w hich Paul had rendered. As they
imulated Paul and the Lord they
became worthy of bei g imulated.
Can thq^ same be said of us? Also
the Christian must exert an influence
for Christ. The important thing is
that deeds must correspond to words.
The impression that we make with
people must he consistent with the
message we have to deliver by our
daily walk. The glow of a Christian
nersonality should make a profound
impression aml promote the cause of
-hristianity. the talk of people when
having been a witness of Christ’s
work will indirectly promote the work
of the Saviour. In that witnessing
has promoted’ within their beirg a
desire to in turn become a witness.
