Therefore...Witness

Isaiah 43:12 KJV

I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God.

God pronounces Israel to be His witnesses on account of three things

God had declared

To them that there is no strange god

God alone had saved

Them and no other God

God had shown

Them that He is the only God

Each of these is equally true of the true Christian.

God has declared Himself to us.

It is why we believe. No man convinced us. It was the work of God to give us faith to believe.

God has saved us

We know it to be Him. Others may question why we are Christians. We know it was God who saved us.

God has shown us

That He is, that His Word is true and that there is no other God beside Him.

These are things that God has done in us and therefore we are qualified as witnesses to the Lord.

            We ought to trust the Lord.

            We ought to believe the Lord.

            We ought to speak about the Lord.

He has declared, He has saved and He has shown us these things.

Therefore we are the witnesses.
