All Christians are called to witness the gospel of Jesus Christ to the whole world. This witnessing entails telling sinners, the wicked, poor, sick, oppressed, bound, and hopeless about the power of God to set them free. Christians usually witness to others by presenting themselves as beneficiaries of the grace, mercy and love of Jesus so others may follow in their footsteps by accepting Him as their Lord and Saviour. Unfortunately, many Christians witness for Jesus in words alone. For this category of witness, their lifestyles contradict the message they preach and this pushes the unsaved further from salvation. Practical Christian witnessing is Christianity without pretence. It is revealed in behaviour, proven by performance or action, tested by trial and undeterred by persecution.
Knowing God is not the same as going to church, and loving God is not the same as being involved in church activities. If you love God it will show in the way you conduct the affairs of your life. If you know God, the evidence will be seen in the way you relate with people around you. If anyone is living contrary to Gods word, all that he or she offers to God will amount to nothing before the Almighty. Our lives must count for God first before other things can follow. God wants His children to be His true representatives. 1 Peter 2:12 says: Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
