Witnesses...........

We are Christ's witnesses, and we are not to allow worldly interests and plans to
absorb our time and attention.
Ellen G White Testimonies for the church, vol. 9, pp. 53, 54.

"Ye are My witnesses, saith the Lord. . . . I have declared, and have saved, and I have
showed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are My witnesses." "I the
Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give
thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; to open the blind eyes, to bring
out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house."
 Ellen G White The Acts of the Apostles, p. 10.

The people of the world are worshiping false gods. They are to be turned from their false
worship, not by hearing denunciation of their idols, but by beholding something better. God's
goodness is to be made known. "Ye are My witnesses, saith the Lord, that I am God."--
Ellen G White  Christ's Object Lessons, p. 299.

All who would enter the city of God must during their earthly life set forth Christ in their
dealings. It is this that constitutes them the messengers of Christ, His witnesses. They are to bear a plain,decided testimony against all evil practices, pointing sinners to the Lamb of God, who taketh
away the sin of the world.
