Act 22 - A Blog in 28 Acts

Can I have a Testimony!  Read All of Acts 22 here.

In Acts 22, St. Paul gives his testimony.  He is sharing with the people the kind of person he "used to be" and how God is now using him in a new way.  It is a powerful testimony that displays how God can even use someone like Paul (who in his former life was nothing more than a glorified bounty hunter of Christians).  God changed Paul into the most successful evangelist the Christian church has ever known. Amazing! 

His testimony reminds me of how powerful God's transforming love is.  It can really change people from the inside out!  It transformed Paul, and it can transform you and me.

His testimony also prompts me to ask myself; What's my testimony? How can I share with people the transformation that God has made within my heart?  What difference does my relationship with Jesus make in the way I think and behave? 

These are questions we all should ask.  In fact, we should know our answers to them, because someday we will be with someone who will need to hear how God has transformed us into a new being.  It will be our opportunity to really touch someone with the incredible grace and transforming love of God by sharing our own testimony.  And who knows, that testimony might be the very thing that person needs to hear to begin a life changing relationship with Jesus Christ!

Today, think of your own testimony.  How has God made a change in you?  How are you different because of his love and grace in your life?  Then prepare to share it with someone.  Because you never know when the opportunity will offer itself when someone may ask; "Can I have a testimony?"
