An overlooked part of every believer's job description

Published: Wed, 09/06/23

Jesus revealed an overlooked yet vital aspect of His ministry when He said:

“For this purpose I have come into the world—to bear witness to the truth” (Jn. 18:37).

As His followers, we share this purpose…

God calls us to bear witness to the truth.

But this is hard for us.

And in a culture where institutions suppress the truth and cherish lies we are tempted to go along just to survive.

Yet, as those given a mandate to seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, the Lord expects more from us (Mt. 6:33).

Therefore, we must get good at bearing witness to the truth… even when it’s hard.

So how do we get better at this?

A few ideas…

1. Love the truth (1 Cor. 13:6).

2. Abide in the truth (Jn. 8:31-32).

3. Commit to speaking the truth (Eph. 4:15).

And…

Always keep in mind…

God doesn’t ask us to invent the truth, but only bear witness to it.

Putting on the ‘belt of truth’ (Eph. 6:14) in this way is a big part of our shared calling in Christ.

This is the way of healing and restoration for people and nations.

So go bring the truth to bear wherever you can.
