You Are My Witnesses

Jan1

“You are My witnesses,” declares the Lord, “And My servant whom I have chosen, So that you may know and believe Me And understand that I am He.
Isaiah‬ ‭43:10‭aNASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.43.10.NASB1995‭‭

‭‭These words, “You are my witnesses” holds a great responsibility. As believers in Jesus Christ, who took on our sin and saved us through His sacrificial death, we are His chosen servants. Salvation does not save us to do as we please. It is to know and understand . . .

Before Me there was no God formed, And there will be none after Me. I, even I, am the Lord, And there is no savior besides Me. It is I who have declared and saved and proclaimed, And there was no strange god among you; So you are My witnesses,” declares the Lord, “And I am God. Isaiah‬ ‭43:10‭b-‬12‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.43.12.NASB1995‭‭

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
1 Peter‬ ‭2:9‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/1pe.2.9.NASB1995

May your witness of Jesus bring others to believe and understand that He IS God.

🌹Do not tremble and do not be afraid; Have I not long since announced it to you and declared it? And you are My witnesses. Is there any God besides Me, Or is there any other Rock? I know of none.’ ”
Isaiah‬ ‭44:8‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Isaiah‬ ‭49:5‭-‬6‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
