1. God Chooses Witnesses on Earth
In the Scriptures, God clearly declares that He has a people who bear witness about Him and proclaim His truth.
“Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.”
(Isaiah 43:10, KJV)
This verse shows that being God’s witness involves knowledge, faith, and understanding of His uniqueness.
2. Witnesses Confirm That Jehovah( Yahweh) Alone Is Savior
God declares that He alone is the true Savior, and His witnesses must testify of this truth.
“I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God.”
(Isaiah 43:12, KJV)
The role of witnesses is to affirm that there is no other true God besides the LORD Jehovah( Yahweh) .
3. Witnesses Are Empowered by the power of God (Holy Ghost)
Jesus shows that the work of witnessing would be worldwide and accomplished through the power of the Spirit.
“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”
(Acts 1:8, KJV)
This testimony was not limited to one region but extended to the ends of the earth.
4. Witnesses Obey God Rather Than Men
The apostles remained faithful to their mission even under persecution.
“And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.”
(Acts 5:32, KJV)
True witnesses base their lives on obedience to God.
