Why Your Testimony Is Epic

Why is Jesus important to you?

So, I still don’t know how to do it right. What does it take to make my testimony epic? According to the editors of the Christian website Without Reservation , “Your testimony can be a simple and effective way to share the Gospel – the Good News of Jesus Christ. It can also help and encourage others who believe. Though it takes some boldness, it's something that every Christian is able to do. You are simply telling them the story of how you came to place your faith and trust in Jesus Christ as the One who saved you from your sins. It's your story. You lived it, and so you know it well. And in telling it, you may find that God uses you to draw someone to Himself.”

Pastor Ralph Arnold of Tampa’s Calvary Community Church seems to disagree. “What is your testimony?” he asks. “I believe this term is so misused that most folks don't even know. In churches people are often asked to give a testimony. Usually someone will volunteer and say that their testimony is that God has healed them of some illness, or has helped them through some difficult crisis, or that God has provided for some particular need, or that God has led them into some particular ministry, and etc. Well, these are really praise reports of answered prayer or of God's wonderful provision. And, we ought to give praise. But, technically, these are not a testimony.”
