Your Life Is His Testimony; The Word Made Alive In Your Self

People Today are speaking the Word of God without always directly quoting the Bible, yet they know it not.

The receiver may somewhat know it, for words spoken from a heart formed by God's hand seeds in the hearer's heart in ways unfathomable and indescribable by men.

The Word of God has come alive in so many people's lives, in their thoughts and words and actions, that truly they are living stones, ambassadors of Christ, and the collective Temple of God on earth.

This is why it isn't necessary to religiously quote verbatim what one's life already testifies to, unless one must also preach to themselves and include themselves as the audience.

Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good. 

As you come to Him, the Living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to Him—you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Yeshua Christ. 

For in Scripture it says: 

“See, I lay a Stone in Zion, 

   a chosen and precious Cornerstone, 

and the one who trusts in Him 

   will never be put to shame.” 

Now to you who believe, this Stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, 

“The Stone the builders rejected 

   has become the Cornerstone,” 

and, 

“A Stone that causes people to stumble 

   and a Rock that makes them fall.” 

They stumble because they disobey the message—which is also what they were destined for. 

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful Light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. 

Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul. Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the Day He visits us. 

Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human authority: whether to the emperor, as the supreme authority, or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right. For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people. Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves. Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the emperor. 

Slaves, in reverent fear of God submit yourselves to your masters, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh. For it is commendable if someone bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because they are conscious of God. 

But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God. To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in His steps. 

“He committed no sin, 

   and no deceit was found in His mouth.” 

When they hurled their insults at Him, He did not retaliate; when He suffered, He made no threats. Instead, He entrusted Himself to Him who judges justly. “He himself bore our sins” in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by His wounds you have been healed.” For “you were like sheep going astray,” but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls. 

- 1 Peter 2

I am not sure about your experiences, but I have seen people reflect Christ in their lives and they know very little about quoting Scripture.

They know very little in terms of describing the Mystery of God in Christ in 'biblical' terms, or doctrinal debate, or theological detail, yet they reflect His love in their lives, in how they treat others, their conscious reflections, their consideration of others; their living testimony.

When God decides who not to reveal Himself to, no amount of religion, philosophy, Bible quoting, ritual or method can enter the heart not authored by the Author of Life:

For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.) This will take place on the day when God judges people’s secrets through Yeshua Christ, as my gospel declares. 

- Romans 2: 13-16

The Word of God, God's law, is truly written on their hearts of those God chooses from eternity, and in this mystery we praise His Holy Name!

Then Yeshua cried out, “Whoever believes in Me does not believe in Me only, but in the One who sent Me. The one who looks at Me is seeing the One who sent Me. I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in Me should stay in darkness.” 

- John 12: 44-46
