Is Your Life A Testimony Or Biography?

Testimonies are very different from biographies. A testimony is about Jesus.

Who's your hero? Have you read his or her biography? We love stories about heroes who accomplished amazing things, don't we?

In every biography the hero rescues him- or herself, or someone else, from a terrible fate. As we read such tales of heroism, we look for sources of hope and examples of courage, dedication, sacrifice, and triumph. Biographies are great, but testimonies are even better.

Testimonies are very different from biographies. A testimony is about Jesus - His life, His accomplishments, and His determination in an individual's life. In a testimony, Jesus is the hero who rescues us from the terrible fate of sin, death, hell, and the just wrath of God.

What's your testimony? How has Jesus rescued you?

Read Revelation 12:10-11

What are the two ways the accuser, Satan, is conquered? (By the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony.)

How do you defeat Satan in your life? (By testifying about the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus Christ on our behalf for the penalty of our sins.)

This would be a good time to have each member of the family share a testimony.

Prayer

Thank God for being the hero in your life and rescuing you from Satan, sin, and death.
