Is Your Life A Testimony Or Biography?
Testimonies are very different from biographies. A testimony is about Jesus.
Who's your hero? Have you read his or her biography? We love stories about heroes who accomplished amazing things, don't we?
In every biography the hero rescues him-or herself, or someone else, from a terrible fate. As we read such tales of heroism, we look for sources of hope and examples of courage, dedication, sacrifice, and triumph. Biographies are great, but testimonies are even better.
Testimonies are very different from biographies. A testimony is about Jesus -His life, His accomplishments, and His determination in an individual's life. In a testimony, Jesus is the hero who rescues us from the terrible fate of sin, death, hell, and the just wrath of God.
What's your testimony? How has Jesus rescued you?
Read Revelation 12:10-11
What are the two ways the accuser, Satan, is conquered? (By the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony.)
How do you defeat Satan in your life? (By testifying about the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus Christ on our behalf for the penalty of our sins.)
This would be a good time to have each member of the family share a testimony.
Prayer
Thank God for being the hero in your life and rescuing you from Satan, sin, and death.
Revelation 12:10-11 NKJV
10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.
There has been too many times in the last 3 years alone for me to even count as to how Jesus and God were both there making sure we were safe and even just this year He has provided for us .. I mean while I was unemployed, there was still money that came along to make sure our needs were taken care of.. and food still provided, even if we had to go out along the yar to pick it in the form of what other people call weeds.. all I can say, is with out the love of God and of Jesus, I myself have nothing... in other words, I am blessed.
