I carry a copy of My Testimony in my back pocket to share with people whenever I get the chance.  My Testimony is the account of how God worked in my life to bring me into a relationship with Himself through His Son, Jesus Christ.

I also give it to those who profess to be Christian, in hopes of encouraging them in their faith, and encouraging them in the sharing of their own testimony.  The long and the short of it is that I will share My Testimony with anyone who is interested in reading or hearing it.

I do not know who is a genuine believer and who is not.   Scripture teaches that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.  Since the Bible repeats the fallen condition of man over and over throughout it’s pages, I have to assume that everyone is unsaved from the start. 

Sometimes I am pleasantly surprised by an individual’s response.  Recently I shared My Testimony with an Urgent Care doctor.  I mentioned to him that I can lead a horse to water but I cannot make him drink.  The doctor graciously received My Testimony and replied; I have been to the trough and have drunk deeply.

I cannot know anyone’s true spiritual condition.  Sharing the life changing message of Jesus Christ with those who also claim to be a Christian is a good and right practice even though some “Christians” are  offended by this. 

Their offense justifies this practice.  Taking offense at the hearing of another’s testimony of salvation reveals a person’s true spiritual condition.  I come away from situations like this deeply saddened, but at least I know how to pray for them.

My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. Psalm 34:2
