Within the Christian belief system, the term "witnessing" has arisen to refer to the process of sharing faith and professing belief in God to others. The term originates out of the idea that those who believe in Jesus are instructed to share their belief with others (Matthew 28:16-20) and that Christians are "witnesses" to the fact they have received salvation and that God has interacted with their life. One aspect of the sharing of faith in Christianity can be noted through the fact that the revelation of God sending Jesus to save mankind is referred to as the "good news" many times (Matthew 4:23, 9:35, 11:5. Mark 1:14-5 to name only a few) when the disciples or Jesus share this information. Christians are instructed to see the knowledge coming from God not as privileged information for only them but as good news to be shared.

This term has been used to connote preaching the gospel, sharing testimony of faith and experiences with God and also sharing of Christian ideas and principles between two individuals.
