Witnessing

verb

Thesaurus

2 deponent, testifier.

Wiki says about witness:
A witness is someone who has, who claims to have, or is thought by someone with authority to compel testimony to have, knowledge relevant to an event or other matter of interest. In law a witness is someone who, either voluntarily or under compulsion, provides testimonial evidence, either oral or written, of what he or she knows or claims to know about the matter before some official authorized to take such testimony.


When we say that we "witness" to people about Christ, what exactly do you witness about or of?

Do we witness about our own experience?

Do we witness what we know to be written in the Bible? Ours or somebody else's interpretation?

Do we witness about how other people should believe because we believe it to be that way?

What are we witnessing?
