Why Christians Must Share Their Testimonies (and What Happens If They Don’t)

Testimonies aren’t optional. They’re weapons, witness tools, and acts of worship. Every Christian has a story, and every story has power—because it points to the power of God. When you stay silent, you’re not just keeping your story to yourself—you’re withholding light in a dark world.

Jesus didn’t save you just to keep it quiet. He saved you so others could see what salvation looks like.

What is a Testimony?

A testimony is your personal account of how God has worked in your life. It could be your salvation story, a moment of healing, deliverance from sin, or any encounter with God’s power, mercy, or provision. Testimonies are not about making yourself look good—they’re about making God known.

Conclusion: Speak Up

If God has done something in your life, don’t bury it. Speak it. Write it. Share it. Testimonies are truth-tellers, fire-starters, and soul-savers. They’re not optional—they’re your spiritual responsibility.

When you testify, you’re not just telling your story. You’re telling His.
