For God is my witness that I neither preached, affirmed, nor defended them, though they say that I did.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As Christians, it's our duty to stand up for what we believe - that's called testifying.
I call God to witness that as a private person I have done nothing unbeseeming an honest man, nor, as I bear the place of a public man, have I done anything unworthy of my place.
My evidence that I am saved does not lie in the fact that I preach, or that I do this or that. All my hope lies in this: that Jesus Christ came to save sinners. I am a sinner, I trust Him, then He came to save me, and I am saved.
I glory in the distinguishing grace of God and will not, by the grace of God, step one inch from my principles or think of adhering to the present fashionable sort of religion.
There is no witness so terrible and no accuser so powerful as conscience which dwells within us.
Say to all small and great, and that often, that fully, quickly and willingly, without grumbling and contradiction, they do all your commands that are not against God.
Looking back, I am grateful for so many friends who helped me in my youth to gain a testimony of the restored Church of Jesus Christ. First, I exercised simple faith in their testimonies, and then I received the divine witness of the Spirit to my mind and to my heart.
You know I took an oath to tell the truth when I took the witness stand.
I cannot fail to call the congregation to worship God, to listen to his Word, to offer themselves to God.
I preached as never sure to preach again, And as a dying man to dying men.
