The assassination of Charlie Kirk has left most Americans in shock over the past few days. However, Kirk did not leave us without his powerful testament rooted in the person of Jesus Christ.
As Fox News reported, just a few minutes before Kirk was assassinated, he was discussing his faith and why he believed in Jesus.

“It’s not just intrabiblical evidence, but extrabiblical evidence that Jesus Christ was a real person. He lived a perfect life, he was crucified, died and rose on the third day, and he is Lord and God over all,” Kirk said.
These powerful words align with Kirk’s other statements about Jesus. On The Iced Coffee Hour podcast, Kirk shared the one thing he wanted to be remembered for: his faith.
“I want to be remembered for courage for my faith,” Kirk said. “That would be the most important thing. The most important thing is my faith.”
Charlie Kirk’s life and death have become a sobering reminder of what it means to live boldly for Christ in a world increasingly hostile to truth. Though his voice was tragically silenced, his final words serve as a rallying cry for believers to stand firm, to defend their faith and to never shrink back from declaring Jesus as Lord.

In honoring his memory, we are reminded that the measure of a man is not found in fame, politics, or influence, but in the legacy of faith he leaves behind. Charlie Kirk left us with a clear and uncompromising message: that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, risen from the dead and worthy of our full devotion.
