text:  Hence God's call to Paul. Yet Paul's life is actually no different than ours, yours and mine. He's been given faith in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and with that faith he's been called to witness to those who are dead in their trespasses and sins, even as they stand before him. We, as Paul, are called to speak of what we have seen and heard via God's word. That's what witnessing is.
