“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another” (John 13:34-35 NIV).
In group witness there is great power in it. Just like a soldier is never sent out by himself, God doesn’t want for us to do our mission alone. He says we should go out together to witness.
In John 13, Jesus tells us that our love for each other proves to the world that we are His disciples. People are influenced when Christians genuinely love each other. It manifest to the world that they are in the family of God.
In 2 Timothy 1:7, we’re told how we are supposed to witness to people: “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline”(NIV).
The question to us is, have we been apprehensive and fearful in your witness? Is anybody going to be in Heaven because of you? If we work together to witness together with other Christians, we’ll be able to say, “Yes! Somebody’s in Heaven because of me.”
Philippians 1:27 says, “I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the gospel”(NIV).
Do we witness with other Christians in one spirit — when we’re so unified that it’s almost like we’re one person? This is the type of relationship God wants us to have with our fellow Christians. We all need each other. God wants us to witness for Him, but He wants us to do it together.
