"He who has received His testimony has certified that God is true." John 3:33
An Authentic Testimony of Redeeming Grace — What Should We Listen and Look For?
Four Marks — Four Distinguishing Marks of an Authentic Witness
Four MARKS of an Authentic Witness, as seen in the testimony of Paul in Acts 26, Romans 2, John 3 and throughout the Scriptures. The testimony and teachings that support an authentic witness in the Bible are as follows:
"John answered and said, "A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven." (John 3:27)
1. It REST on a CURRENT Lifestyle.
2. It's ROOTED in a Past CONVERSION. (When we entrusted our lives to Jesus being interrupted and invaded by Him and His grace.)
3. It REFLECTS a CONSISTENT COMMITMENT of Following Jesus (from the time we were interrupted and reconciled to Jesus, including being chastened, restored, corrected, revived, redirected, disciplined and cared for by Jesus and His people).
4. It's REWARDED to CERTIFY the Gospel is True and to CLARIFY Truth about Jesus. (Gifted to be His witness... that gets to declare His praise and purpose, telling and retelling our story, again and again, of His redeeming grace. We open our mouths, our bibles and our lives alongside His truth and grace and show how He and His truth and grace continues to transform our lives.)
"For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure. The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand. He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him." (John 3:34-36)
