Definition and Usage:
The term "attesting" refers to the act of affirming or bearing witness to the truth, validity, or authenticity of something. In a biblical context, attesting often involves confirming the truth of God's word, the fulfillment of prophecy, or the authenticity of Jesus Christ's ministry and resurrection.

Biblical Context:
In the Bible, attesting is closely linked with the concept of testimony and witness. It is a significant theme throughout both the Old and New Testaments, where God, His prophets, and His apostles provide attestation to His divine plan and truth.

Old Testament:
In the Old Testament, God often attests to His covenant and promises through signs and wonders. For example, in Exodus 4:8-9, God provides Moses with signs to attest to the Israelites that He has indeed sent him: "And if they do not believe you or heed the witness of the first sign, they may believe the witness of the second sign. But if they do not believe even these two signs or listen to your voice, take some water from the Nile and pour it on the dry ground. The water you take from the river will become blood on the ground."

Prophets also serve as God's attesting witnesses, delivering messages that confirm His will and future plans. Isaiah 43:10 states, "You are My witnesses," declares the LORD, "and My servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe Me and understand that I am He."

New Testament:
In the New Testament, attesting is prominently associated with the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The apostles are primary witnesses to these events, tasked with attesting to the truth of the Gospel. Acts 2:32 declares, "God has raised this Jesus to life, to which we are all witnesses."

The miracles performed by Jesus and His apostles serve as attestations of divine authority and truth. Hebrews 2:3-4 emphasizes this: "How shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? This salvation was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard Him, and was attested by signs, wonders, and various miracles, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to His will."

Role of the Holy Spirit:
The Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in attesting to the truth of the Gospel and the believer's faith. Romans 8:16 states, "The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children." The Spirit's work in the believer's life serves as an internal attestation of their relationship with God.

Application for Believers:
For believers, attesting involves living a life that bears witness to the truth of the Gospel. This includes sharing the message of Christ, demonstrating the fruits of the Spirit, and standing firm in faith. 1 Peter 3:15 encourages believers to be ready to attest to their hope: "But in your hearts sanctify Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give a defense to everyone who asks you the reason for the hope that is in you."

In summary, attesting in the biblical sense is a multifaceted concept involving divine confirmation, prophetic witness, apostolic testimony, and the believer's role in affirming the truth of God's word and work in the world.(p. pr. & vb. n.) of Attest.
