I noticed an older gentleman sitting at a table handing out religious material. Upon further examination I realized he was a "jehovah's witness". It seemed as if he came there quite often and just sat all day and to be honest it upset me beyond how I thought it would.
My heart was so heavy for this poor man who was trying to earn his way into heaven (that's what JW believe). That he was there day after day earning "points" with God, hoping at the end of his life he would have enough.
That's not why I witness and that's not why the group of people I go out with share the gospel. See if you are in Jesus, you cannot earn ANYTHING!!! Jesus paid it all! All to Him I owe. Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow! Anything good we do, is from God doing it through us, which He prepared for us. See everything is about God! It's not about us. "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."- Ephesians 2:10
We do it because we love Jesus and we love others that we don't want them to perish. And also, God commands Christians to share their faith. It's so confusing to me how Christians will not get off the couch to do anything or to share their faith when we have the truth! And millions of cult members share their faith with everything they have, and for a lie sending people straight to hell.
"therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”- Matthew 9:38
