Topic:
THE QUALIFICATIONS OF A WITNESS II
TEXT:
Col.2:6-7
Memory Verse: "As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him. Rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith."
Study:
A qualified witness is one who is:
Filled with the Holy Spirit. "Be filled with the Spirit"
Eph.5:18.We are commanded to be filled with the Holy Spirit.
Evidence of the Spirit-filled life as seen in the early Christians:
- a. They spoke the word of God with boldness. Acts 4:31
- b. They witnessed with great power.Acts.4:33
- c. They witnessed with great grace.Acts.4:33
- d. They shared their wealth.Acts.4:34-37
- e. They worshiped in unity.Acts.2:42-47
- f. They suffered persecution.Acts.8:1-4
- g. They gloried in tribulations. Rom.5:3
- h. They sang in prison Acts 16:25
- i. They loved and prayed for their executioners. Acts 7:54-60.
- j. They rejoiced to suffer shame for His name .Acts 5:41.
They were accused of:
- Filling Jerusalem with the gospel. Acts 5:28
- Turning the world upside down. Acts 17:6
The 120 Spirit-filled Christians witnessed on the day of Pentecost and the people were:
- Astonished, that is, they were mentally arrested. Acts 2:6.
- Amazed, that is they were mentally frustrated. Acts 2:7.
- Marveling, that is ,they stood in mental awe .Acts 2:7
- Mocking, that is, some mentally reacted.Acts.2:13
- Inquiring, that is, some mentally acted. Acts 2:37.
CONCLUSION:
The gospel proclaimed in the power of the Holy Spirit will motivate the hearer to act or react. On the day of Pentecost three thousand acted as evidenced by repentance and baptism, while others reacted mocking.
May the Lord help us to be his obedient
children in Jesus name. Amen?
