A Backslidden Witness

Q. Sometimes when I  back slide for a period of days/weeks I still try to witness to others even though I am going through a tough time.  I feel compelled to do so but feel like a hypocrite  because I have no room to talk at the moment. I try not to let the devil get to me and still share the Good News   That’s all I really can do right? I am not perfect and still fall flat on my face and God picks me right back up.

A. Jesus said that those who’ve been forgiven much love much. (Luke 7:41-43) It’s God’s love that attracts us to Him, and no one can convey that to another better than someone who has experienced it abundantly.   The incredible message of the Gospel is not that Jesus died so that bad men could become good, it’s that He died so that dead men could live. Knowing that God loves us even when we’re not doing well can give us a  powerful testimony.
