The modern idea of the testimony has been perverted from an understanding of how to be acceptable to God to an invitation to accept God. God's Word is the testimony, and in the Old Testament it was against us. Christ is the door through which we enter God's presence, are cleansed by Christ's sacrifice, and receive the testimony of His grace by faith. (Includes Handout) Psalm 19, 25, 78, 119; Ruth; Exodus; 1 Corinthians 6; Isaiah. VF-1719
