Why is witnessing important if Christ's atonement is limited?

Answered in 1 source

Witnessing is essential as it obeys the biblical command to preach the gospel, affirming God's love and call to repentance.

Witnessing remains vital despite the doctrine of limited atonement because the Bible commands believers to preach the gospel to every creature (Mark 16:15). This mandate is rooted in the understanding that while Christ's atonement is particular to the elect, the explicit command to evangelize reflects God's desire for all to hear the message of salvation. The biblical basis for this is found in 2 Corinthians 5:20, where we are called ambassadors for Christ to implore others to be reconciled to God. Through witnessing, we express God’s love and extend the invitation to repent and trust in Him, emphasizing that 'everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved' (Romans 10:13). Thus, the necessity of witnessing aligns with God's overarching purpose and reveals His love while acknowledging the mystery of His sovereign election.
