YOU MUST TESTIFY TO
THE GOSPEL!
WORD OF GOD:
Act 20:20 You know that I have not hesitated to preach anything that would be helpful to you but have taught you publicly and from house to house.
Act 20:21 I have declared to both Jews and Greeks that they must turn to God in repentance and have faith in our Lord Jesus.
WORD OF GOD:
Act 20:22 "And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there.
Act 20:23 I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships are facing me.
WORD OF GOD:
Act 20:24 However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me--the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace.
Act 20:25 "Now I know that none of you among whom I have gone about preaching the kingdom will ever see me again.
WORD OF GOD:
Act 20:26 Therefore, I declare to you today that I am innocent of the blood of all men.
Act 20:27 For I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will of God.

Acts 20:20 You know that I have not hesitated to preach anything that would be helpful to you but have taught you publicly and from house to house.
1. YOU MUST TESTIFY WITHOUT HESITATION
Act 20:27 For I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will of God.
1. YOU MUST TESTIFY WITHOUT HESITATION
(AMP) For I never shrank or kept back or fell short from declaring to you the whole purpose and plan and counsel of God.
(GW) I didn't avoid telling you the whole plan of God.

OPPOSING RESPONSE
Acts 20:23 I only know
that in every city the Holy Spirit warns
me that prison and
hardships are facing me.

by the Holy Spirit that I will be put in jail and will be
in trouble in Jerusalem.
2. YOU MUST TESTIFY WITHOUT FEAR OF NEGATIVE, EMBARRASSSING AND

3 REASONS WHY YOU
MUST TESTIFY TO THE GOSPEL
1. LIFE IS WORTH NOTHING WITHOUT TESTIFYING TO THE
GOSPELActs 20:24
However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me--the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace.
THE MEANING OF YOUR LIFE IS NOT COMPLETE IF YOU DONT SHARE
THE GOSPEL
TMSG - WHAT MATTERS THE MOST IN YOUR LIVING IS THE TESTIFYING TO
THE GOSPEL
Act 20:24 But that matters little. What matters most to me is to finish what God started: the job the Master Jesus gave me of letting everyone I meet know all about this incredibly extravagant generosity of God.
WNT- TESTIYING TO THE GOSPEL IS OF SUPREME IMPORTANCE TO
YOU
(WNT) But even the sacrifice of my life I count as nothing, if only I may perfect my earthly course, and be faithful to the duty which the Lord Jesus has entrusted to me of proclaiming, as of supreme importance, the Good News of God's grace.
YOUR LIFE IS USELESS WHEN IT IS NOT USED TO TESTIFY TO THE
GOSPEL
2. THE LORD JESUS HAS GIVEN YOU THE TASK OF TESTIFYING TO
THE GOSPEL
Act 20:24 However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me--the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace.
GW -TESTIFYING TO THE GOSPEL IS YOUR MISSION IN
LIFE
(GW) But I don't place any value on my own life. I want to finish the race I'm running. I want to carry out the mission I received from the Lord Jesus-the mission of testifying to the Good News of God's kindness.
KJV- TESTIFYING TO THE GOSPEL IS YOUR MINISTRY
3. GOD HOLDS YOU ACCOUNTABLE OF THE BLOOD OF PEOPLE IN AND
AROUND YOUR LIFEActs 20:26 Therefore, I
declare to you today that I am innocent of the blood of all men.(GW) Therefore, I declare
to you today that I am not responsible for the spiritual death of any of you.
(NLT) Let me say plainly that I have been faithful. No one's damnation can be blamed on me,
Ezekiel 3:18 When I say to a
wicked man, 'You will surely
die,' and you do not warn
him or speak out to
dissuade him from his evil
ways in order to save his
life, that wicked man will die
for [1] his sin, and I will hold
you accountable for his
blood.
