Why Should We Witness?
Have you ever asked yourself, "Why should I witness?" Several reasons should come
to mind. First, because Jesus commands you to: "Go therefore and make disciples
of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the
Holy Spirit (Matt. 28:19). Also, Ezekiel 3:11 says, "and go to the exiles, to
the sons of your people, and speak to them and tell them, whether they listen
or not..."
Second, you must witness because you love the unsaved (if you don't, you should).
The most loving thing you can do is present the gospel in hopes of bringing others
to salvation. Galatians 5:22 lists love as one of the fruit of the Spirit. It
is love's nature to give. Take for example John 3:16, "For God so loved the world
that He gave His only begotten Son..." Love gives, and if you have only a small
portion of His love, you will want to give to others.
Third, witness because it is a wise thing to do. Proverbs 11:30 says, "...he who
is wise wins souls." Now, I know I am not a very wise person. But, since God says
I'll be wise to win souls, or try to, then great, let me at it. I want to be wise
in God's sight.
Fourth, witness to keep people out of hell. Hell is a terrifying place of utter
anguish and eternal separation from God. Those who are not saved go there. Witnessing
is an attempt to keep them out of hell.
And finally, and most important, witness so they may find the love and fellowship
of God (1 John 1:3), the greatest of all treasures. I can think of no greater
gift than salvation. It frees the sinner from sin, it delivers the lost from damnation,
and it reveals the true and living God to those
who don't know Him.
The angels of heaven rejoice greatly when anyone passes from judgment into salvation
(Luke 15:10). Shouldn't we as Christians rejoice too? Shouldn't we weep over the
lost? Shouldn't we ask the Lord of the field to send laborers into His harvest
(Luke 10:2)? Certainly! The salvation of others is the goalof your efforts. The
love of God is your motive. Is there anything greater? So, give.
