RICK WARREN DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY 24TH JULY 2023
Each of us has a life message that God wants us to share with the world. Sharing the message is part of our life’s mission. When we share that message with other people, it’s called witnessing.
There is great power in group witness. Just like a soldier is never sent out by himself, God never meant for us to do our mission alone. He says we should go out together to witness.
In fact, we witness best to people who don’t know God when we love others who are already in God’s family. In John 13, Jesus tells us that our love for each other proves to the world that we are his disciples. People are impressed when Christians genuinely love each other. It proves to the world that they are in the family of God.
This is how we are supposed to witness to people: “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline” (2 Timothy 1:7 NIV).
Have you been timid and fearful in your witness? God’s answer to fear is community—having other Christians stand alongside you as you share the Good News.
Is anybody going to be in heaven because of you? If you work together to witness with other Christians, you’ll be able to say, “Yes! Somebody is in heaven because of me.”
Philippians 1:27 says, “I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the gospel” (NIV).
When you witness with other Christians in one spirit, you’re so unified that it’s almost like you’re one person. This is the kind of relationship God wants us to have with our fellow Christians.
We all need each other. God wants to use us to witness for him, and he wants us to do it together!
