The end of all being is the Glory of God. We were made for His honor, His glory and His fellowship with Him. Then In the Garden of Eden man betrayed Him; Our Creator, Friend, Brother, Master, God and Lord. When we betrayed Him the consequences of our injustice was banishment from the one whom we had betrayed.
The Lord wanting our return fellowship with Him sought a way for redemption a substitute for our punishment. For we mankind could not save ourselves neither could we not substitute for each other for we were all guilty of the same crime and had the same punishment; no work that we might do could atone or undo the crime and punishment. The only way we could be saved was for a substitute, a perfect substitute, one that had no sin.
God the Father sent down His Son Jesus to this earth as a man, a perfect man as he was not made of man, to be tempted like us. And as a man who can be tempted like us, He “the Son of God” remained holy that He “a man of flesh” being tempted as a man of flesh might die on the cross giving man salvation a gift to all who will believe that we might once again be able to glorify, honor and fellowship with our Creator and now Savior.
Why do we witness? We witness for the honor and glory of God, so that people will see what God has done for others and us.
“Will not the Judge of all the earth do right…? The heathen are lost and they are going to hell not because they haven’t heard the gospel. They are going to hell because they are sinners who LOVE THEIR SIN and because the deserve hell. But I didn’t send you out there for them. I didn’t send you out there for their sakes. I didn’t send you out there for the sake of the heathen. I sent you out there for my sake. They deserved hell but I loved them and I endured the agonies of hell for them. I didn’t send you out there for them. I sent you out there for Me. Do I not deserve the reward of My suffering? Do I not deserve those for whom I died? “
“Witnessing isn’t trying to convince good people that he is in trouble with a bad God but to tell bad people that they deserve the wrath of a good God.”
