The Command to be a Witness
If you are a born again Christian, then you are to be a witness for Jesus. He told His followers, ''Ye shall be witnesses unto Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.'' (Acts 1:8)
At the Last Supper, Jesus said, ''But when the Comforter is come, Whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of Truth, which proceedeth from the Father. He shall testify of Me: and ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with Me from the beginning.'' (John 15:26,27)
To tell others about Jesus is a commandment. If we love Jesus, then we will obey Him. Being a witness is also evidence that we are saved. If God has truly given us eternal life, the greatest possible gift, then we will want to share that with others.
When the Samaritan woman met Jesus, she immediately went and told the people in her town about Him. She wanted others to share in her joy.
