Isaiah 43:10 KJV
Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
What a great comfort to know that God has chosen us both as servants and as witnesses.
We are witnesses for so we may know and believe
vs 10
God's call on our lives was not merely that we would be servants, but that we would be believers. His concern is not so much what we do, but who we are in Christ. We should not place the weight of responsibility upon our own shoulders in ministry. God could win the lost without us. He is more concerned in our own growth in faith through witnessing and serice to Him.
We are witnesses that He is Godvs 12
God declared - spoke His Word
God saved - rescued His people
God shewed - caused them to hear His message
And He did all of that while Israel had no strange god. They did not need an idol for God to perform on their behalf
We are witnesses and have no need to fearIs 44:8
Because there is no God beside Him. Fear not what men may do, rather fear God. And when we fear God we are not afraid.
The lost people are also witnesses
Is 44:9
They are a testimony to the fact that their idols have no real value.
They cut down a tree:
Use part to warm their house
Use part to cook their food and
Use what's left to make their gods
How useless is that!
