Isaiah 43:10

Back to The Bible's Difficult Scriptures Explained!

---

“You are my witnesses, says the Lord, and My servant whom I have chosen: that you may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He: before Me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after Me.”

The Jehovah’s Witnesses use this passage as authority to preach door-to-door. But notice Luke 10:7, which shows that Christ directly instructed the apostles to not go from “house to house.” The Bible nowhere commands, or even suggests, Christians to actively profess Christ, but rather always to confess Him when confronted with the question of their belief (I Pet. 3:15). Suggested reading:

• Should You Preach to Others?

• Are You Being Called?
