And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Revelation 12:11 KJV
one of the thing that was written in Acts 15:11-12 is this
But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they. Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.
Acts 15:11-12 KJV
To understand the title today is our testimony should speak for us. We are a living example of how God can change lives around. Did you know why some are totally sold out for Christ?
This can be found in the last part of revelation 12:11. Those who overcame, not just overcame by the blood and the testimony but knowing this truth. They love not their lives but loved the life of Christ living inside of them.
We as believers in Christ can learn this point our lives should reflect that of power and strength. People are watching us and seeing how we will react to circumstances. By realizing we have overcome by his blood, the blood of Jesus Christ and the testimony of others, how much more people are looking at us for our testimony when it comes to be living for Christ each day.
In Acts 15 the big problem was people didn’t believe the gentiles should be saved. But God freely given grace to all people. Just as he done it for me he will do it for you. The message today is to be a living testimony for Christ. Let your life be a reflection of the things of God.
People will then come to know God through you. You could be the closest thing they see in the view of God. Jesus said if you seen me you have seen the father because He and the father are one. A reflection of God love let it radiates in you.
Finally it’s about being a witness for God . Being a person that other will see Christ living through you. The report that Paul gives to let us know that salvation is for everyone and within it all be that testimony a witness for the love of God. By doing this we will be an overcommer in Christ
