Spirit And Life Devotional: A Good Testimony

Must read

III John 1:12 NKJV “Demetrius has a good testimony from all, and from the truth itself. And we also bear witness, and you know that our testimony is true.”

Many Christians today seem to care less about what other people think about them. There seems to be so much focus on “self” today; there’s seems to be an unhealthy desire to live as we please, not minding how others are affected by our actions and attitudes; we don’t want to be “people pleasers”.

But we are living epistles! Christianity is among other things a call to witness. We are cities upon hills that cannot be hidden. Many men cannot preach the gospel today, not because they are dumb or handicap, but because their lives are nothing to write home about – because they have lived their entire lives pleasing only themselves – dressing as they please, talking as they please, behaving as they like!

Apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthians, “We care about doing the right thing, not only in the Lord’s eyes but also in the eyes of other people.” 2 Corinthians 8:21 CEB. They had to care about the perceptions of others not because they were hypocrites, but because they wanted to have a good testimony in order that nothing would hinder the furtherance of the gospel they were ordained to preach.
