In our Sunday evening services, we have been hearing different members of our church body tell their story of how Jesus saved them.
In our efforts to teach people faithfully, here are the three main keys we seek to build every testimony around. (I hope these are helpful. And I hope your testimony includes these three components.)
1) Before Christ-Meeting Christ-After Christ. Every testimony should tell of the person’s life before they get saved; how they met Christ; and their life after they got saved.
2) You or Jesus? Every testimony should be about what God has done. Therefore, you can ask ‘Is this more about what you have done or is this more about what Christ has done in you?’
3) Faith & Repentance. Every testimony should include Faith and Repentance. Faith and repentance are 2 sides to the same coin. We are saved by grace through faith, and unless you repent you will die in your sins. No matter how much you have said… Until you tell when you believed and were forgiven, you have not given testimony to God saving you.
