For some time we have been told our stories matter. And they do. They are important.
But lately it has been in my thoughts that our stories are important because they are God’s story.
Our stories reflect the activity and work of God in our lives. It demonstrates how God works in the human heart so that more of Him is seen.
Testimony has been defined as an open declaration or statement. We tend to use it more in terms of evidence in support of a fact in a court of law.
John, in writing the epistles, wanted to make sure people for all time would be sure of what he was writing:
“What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands, concerning the Word of Life – and the life was manifested, and we have seen and testify and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was manifested to us – what we have seen and heard we proclaim to you also, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ.” (1 John 1:1-3, NIV)
“And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.”
(1 John 4:14, NIV)
John wanted us to know they were eye witnesses, they saw and heard the events as they occurred.
