Your Testimony

Read Psalm 71 

What is your 2-minute testimony? A 2-minute testimony is a way of sharing your life before you met Christ, how you met Christ, and your life after meeting Christ squeezed in two minutes. This is a testimony of how Jesus changed your life. The highlight and the center of your testimony is not you but Jesus. 

Our testimony as Christ’s ambassador is very powerful. Sharing a list of scripture to someone who does not have a relationship with God is like telling a bunch of quotes to them. I am not saying there is no power in God’s Word. Hebrews 4:12 says, “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.” However, our own testimony can be more relatable to them because it is based on our own experiences. We are the living testimony of how God saved us and is continuously changing us. It is like sharing to someone a product you purchased or a movie you watched that you really liked. Our natural tendency is to share it to others and even recommend them to try or watch it. 

A friend once shared a photo with me and said, “I see you in this photo.” What she sent are two photos placed side-by-side, the one on the left is a woman raising her hand while having fun dancing on a bar, and the other is the same woman who is raising her hand to worship God. It shows the then and now of the woman. I am amazed at the photo, how God changed me, and how a friend who knows me for 12 years was able to also testify how God transformed me.
