Four Marks — Distinguishing Marks of an Authentic Witness
Four MARKS of an Authentic Witness, as seen in the testimony of Paul in Acts 26, Romans 2 and throughout the Scriptures. The testimony and teachings that support an authentic witness in the Bible are as follows:
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.)
Jesus is their testimony and this evidence, as His disciples, cannot be hidden or denied. They will characteristically be His witnesses for His glory and good.
Hearing Jesus, on everything, concerning all things, as a way of life, is everything to His disciples. (Acts 3:22-26 ; Luke 2:34-35; 2 Corinthians 5:14-21).
