Holding forth the word of life, that I may have whereof to glory in the day of Christ. Philippians 2.16.
We must hold forth the word of life. We must bring out the word of life and lift it up for people to see. The Bible never implies we can testify only with our life and not with the lips as well. We should open our mouth to testify among our relations, friends, and those with whom we are in contact. It is true that Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew says, “Ye are the light of the world” (5.14); but in the same Gospel He also declares: “Every one therefore who shall confess me before men, him will I also confess before my Father who is in heaven” (10.32). If you are able to believe and to do, then believe also that you can shine with your life and testify with your mouth in the midst of those among whom you live. In so doing, Paul says you are perfect.
