Every Christian must be convinced of his fundamental and vital duty of bearing witness to the truth in which he believes and the grace that has transformed him.
Testimony bearing is the key to missionary work
When the 'Book of Mormon' was first published, some of those who believed in it taught it to others and testified of it.
I have been ordered to fight against people until they testify that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah and until they perform the prayers and pay the Zakat, and if they do so, they will have gained protection from me for their lives and property…
Fraternal love is the nearest testimony that we can give that Jesus is alive among us.
The Holy Ghost bears witness to us of the truth and impresses upon our souls the reality of God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, so surely that no earthly power or authority can separate us from that knowledge.
Our knowledge of Jesus is in need above all of a living experience: Another person's testimony is certainly important, as in general the whole of our Christian life begins with the proclamation that comes to us from one or several witnesses. But we ourselves must be personally involved in an intimate and profound relationship with Jesus.
My father's life was changed right before my eyes [when he trusted Christ]. It was like someone reached down and switched on a light inside him. He touched alcohol only once after that. He got the drink only as far as his lips and that was it-after forty years of drinking! He didn't need it any more. Fourteen months later, he died form complications of his alcoholism. But in that fourteen-month period over a hundred people in the area around my tiny hometown committed their lives to Jesus Christ because of the change they saw in the town drunk, my dad.
The followers of Jesus did not die for what they believed - they died for what they claim to have seen.
The most obscene symbol in human history is the Cross; yet in its ugliness it remains the most eloquent testimony to human dignity.
I testify that this work in which we're engaged is the Lord's work. I've felt His sustaining influence.
A witness, in the sense that I am using the word, is a man whose life and faith are so completely one that when the challenge comes to step out and testify for his faith, he does so, disregarding all risks, accepting all consequences.
Young people in particular, I appeal to you: bear witness to your faith through the digital world.
If you give it to God, He transforms your test into a testimony, your mess into a message, and your misery into a ministry.
As a child of God, our whole reason for existing is to give God praise. What a testimony to give in a difficult situation.
For members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the term 'testimony' is a warm and familiar word in our religious expressions. It is tender and sweet. It has always a certain sacredness about it. When we talk about testimony, we refer to feelings of our heart and mind rather than an accumulation of logical, sterile facts.
Our religion, then, rests on the credit due to these witnesses.
It is not for us to imagine that we can prove the truth of Christianity by our own arguments; nobody can prove the truth of Christianity except the Holy Spirit, by his own almighty work of renewing the blinded heart. It is the sovereign prerogative of Christ's Spirit to convince men's consciences of the truth of Christ's gospel; and Christ's human witnesses must learn to ground their hopes of success not on clever presentation of the truth by man, but on powerful demonstration of the truth by the Spirit.
God forbid that I should travel with anybody a quarter of an hour without speaking of Christ to them.
