Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to accomplish His work. Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look on the fields, that they are white for harvest. Already he who reaps is receiving wages and is gathering fruit for life eternal; so that he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. For in this case the saying is true, ‘One sows and another reaps.’ I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored and you have entered into their labor.” John 4:34-38

Despite the overemphasis on the dramatic, your personal testimony of knowing Christ as Savior and Lord is an effective tool for evangelism and edification. To many, the Bible is antiquated and irrelevant. But many can relate to what God has done, and is doing, in your life.

Whether your conversion to Christ was a quiet living room or Damascus Road experience is insignificant. What matters is that you had an encounter with a personal God that changed your way of thinking; and your life. That encounter is a tangible means of personalizing and manifesting the reality of Christ and His Word - one that the Holy Spirit can use to authenticate the message of the Gospel.

Even the Christian can be encouraged through your testimony. Many can identify with your struggle of unbelief and doubt. Still others can relate to your continuing discovery of God’s truth as a growing Christian, motivating them to continue the race begun at salvation. Never be shy about telling someone else what God has done for you. God may use it in ways you never dreamed.

“...and I will tell of Your greatness.” Psalm 145:6
