—Zechariah 8:7-12

The fundamental truth of the Christian gospel is that we are becoming a people for his name. This can be found throughout the pages of the Old Testament as well (vv. 7-8)!
Why does God proclaim that our hands must be strong? Our hands must be strong so that a foundation will be built. The Christian witness provides a foundation for others to see the Gospel. In us, they are seeing the Gospel lived out. This can be a solid foundation for others to further investigate their faith. You have heard the saying, "For some people, you are the only Bible they are ever going to read." Be aware that as witnesses we are standing in for God as we live out the faith.
