A man was once asked by an enthusiastic young evangelist whether he had been saved, and whether he had accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior?
The gentleman replied, “Why do you ask me such a thing? I could tell you anything. I could tell you that I surely have accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior and I am saved.
“Here is a list of names of my financial adviser, my boss, the people I work with, my next door neighbor, my wife and my kids. Go ask them if I’ve been saved.”
It makes a lot of sense that one cannot testify to one’s own self and one’s own salvation.
When Mohammed Ali testified that, “I am the greatest,” that meant nothing until his works testified to that fact. The same is true of people today who say, “I am the greatest.”
In a real sense, someone claiming, “I am a Christian” is invalid until there is someone or something else that confirms that testimony is true and that the person is saved.
If someone checked with a list of people who know YOU well, what would they say about “YOUR being a Christian?”
