Podcast #13 | Christ our unfailing assurance: The Testimony of Christ | Dr Annie Smith
"[...] Many view the word "testimony" as a record that is given in a court of law according to people's unique peculiarities, opinions, and subjective experiences, but for the believers in Christ, should our testimony be limited to God's operations and acts in our lives? Is He God based only on our subjective experiences? What makes Him God?"
God is Lord over all, He is Lord of All — He is not be limited to our outward experiences. Since our words and opinions may vary over time, our testimony cannot be based on what we see with our natural eyes. Rather, our testimony is the person of Christ in us and the perfection of His work for all. Christ is our ultimate. God has revealed Him as the evidence of who He is, what He has, and what He says and thinks of us and this EVIDENCE should be confirmed in us.
There is what God confirms in us and who He confirms us to be — This means that what is true of us should become true to us. What God confirms in us is the testimony of Christ and when that confirmation happens in us, we have God's confirmation about us — we become PERSUADED of His opinion of us as revealed in Christ Jesus. Our conviction about what He wrought on the cross gives us a complete readiness of speech and knowledge. In this episode entitled "Christ our unfailing assurance," Dr. Annie Smith shows us that the testimony of Christ is the in-depth knowledge of the Truth in us and when this testimony is confirmed in us (becomes true to us), we are persuaded of it, and it redefines our lives and motives. Having this testimony of Christ endows us with an abundance of spiritual gifts that pertain to His own nature. Our speech and knowledge become a reflection of this confirmed testimony of Christ in us.
