Witnessing involves openly sharing one’s faith through words and lifestyle. Holiness means being set apart for God by living a life that is pure and pleasing to Him. Both witnessing and holiness are essential for spiritual growth and showing God’s love to others.
C – Consolidation (Conclusion & Assessment)
