And they told the woman, Now we no longer believe (trust, have faith) just because of what you said; for we have heard Him ourselves [personally], and we know that He truly is the Savior of the world, the Christ.
Here's the scriptural encounter of the Woman at the well, and immediately following it was her running to tell here people (Samaritans) of encounter with the Christ. After she had informed them of her time spent with Him, her story was convincing enough that they too, sought to hear for themselves and experience Him. It appears to me today that people still haven't changed, in most cases seeing, is believing for most people. Albeit that too, isn't great because with technology being what it is, we have the ability to make things look one way, when in actuality they never even happened. So my question to you is....how do people KNOW your FAITH is real? Or a better question is do people have a genuine experience of CHRIST from your daily living? Does it (your living your faith aloud) encourage them to GO FIND CHRIST for themselves....or do they rather not....again because of you?
We don't read later about the woman in the well, preaching outside of her initially tell them about her encounter with Christ. Nor do we see or read her feeding the hungry, clothing the naked....etc, but for that one excerpt her retelling them about Christ converted many that day. JUST BECAUSE you are a Christian, DO the watching world EXPERIENCE YOUR CHRIST, or you daily encouters with Him (your prayers with Him, your devotional time, etc) through you....or are they still left empty. I KNOW THIS....there is NO WAY you can encounter CHRIST, and not rub off on NO ONE! LGLP
