Answers to Questions:
1). What is effective witnessing in the Spirit?
To be an effective witness for Christ, one must have firsthand knowledge of Him. John the Apostle speaks of this in 1 John 1:1-3; when he says, "That . . . which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at, and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of Life." Today, we who have experienced new life in Christ give an account of His love and forgiveness, both verbally and in the way we live our lives. This is witnessing. To be effective in our witness, we should have a transformed life, a zeal from that transformed life to share with others.

17). What have you learn from reading Ephesians 1-Philippians 1?
When I get the desire and hunger to read God's Word, these books are my heart. Paul had a gift for sure! Paul wrote the book of Ephesians while in Rome, and it was his second missionary journey after conversion. (Ephesians 4:13) is the focus of this book, which concern "unity." Paul desired unity, togetherness, and oneness in the Jews and Gentiles believers. Philippians was a spiritual love letter to the church he had set up there; it contains outbursts of warm affection and gratitude. Paul was under great persecution while in prison, but wrote with a joyful attitude and trust in God to encourage these believers. Paul knew God's strength and experienced His supplying all needs. Philippians 4:13, 19 are good Scriptures in time of needed courage and strength.
