The Gospel is the good news of salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ,

but it is only good news to those who hear it.

Every believer is to go with the Gospel.

Today, we study with Scott Pauling what God's word teaches about becoming a more

effective witness for Christ. Did you do it? Did you share your testimony with someone? Have you passed along your story to someone about the Lord Jesus Christ? We've been talking about the difference Christ makes in us, and then the difference we can make in the lives of others as we share Christ with them. Psalm 107, verse 2 says,

let the redeemed of the Lord say so. We've learned that there are three very important parts of a

good Christian testimony. We've looked at the first two already. First of all, we talked about

the most difficult part to talk about, and that is your life

before you came to know Jesus Christ.

And then we discuss the most important part, and that is the specifics on how you came to

know Christ and how others can come to know Christ.

But today I want to talk to you about the most neglected part of a good Christian

testimony.

It's the one I think that really people don't think about and don't

talk about enough, and that is what Jesus Christ means to you now that you're saved. We said this.

The Christian witness should begin by saying they were lost. All people are lost without Jesus.

And then number two, the Christian witness should say they came to know the Lord, talk about the Lord.

But now I want to say to you that the Christian witness should talk about the new life that they

have in Jesus Christ. In Psalm 107, he began by talking about Israel before they were delivered,

and then how they cried into the Lord and he delivered them. But then listen to the rest of the story.

In verse 7, we read, and he led them forth by the right

way, that they might go to a city of habitation. Oh, that men would praise the Lord for his goodness
