Witness

One who stands by God’s truth, and holds it fast at all costs. In all ages God has had His witnesses, many of whom have been faithful unto death. It is of great importance in observing in 2 Tim. 4:77I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: (2 Timothy 4:7) the three-fold division of the Christian’s life into walk, warfare, and witness, to observe that the third has just as great place as the other two. If Paul fights as a soldier, if he finishes his course, he also keeps the faith, and it is just as much to the glory of God to be a faithful witness as to an earnest worker or a hardy warrior.
