This alone is sufficient to illustrate the point that we should witness. In terms of how election affects my witness, I find supreme comfort in sharing the Gospel for the fact that I know it is not my own words, works, or influence that helps person come to faith in Jesus Christ, but rather the LORD using me. If not for God's sovereignty in election, someones belief or disbelief may depend on my personal abilities to communicate or willingness to communicate the Gospel. Thereby, I now share responsibility for their eternal state. Scripture is clear that there is no good in me, supporting that good works are done by the Holy Spirit working through me.
