Recently translator Paul preached an evangelistic message to some Shatikha people that drew upon a tradition of the majority religion and used a Shatikha word that means Amen: “My fellow Shatikha, we all understand that if I say ‘Amen’ when some¬one does a worthy act, then everyone who hears me say it shares in the same blessing I receive. But we all know that no matter how many times a person says ‘Amen’, not one of us has enough merit to pass the 31 realms of suffering and enter into eternal peace. “However, the Eternal God, who created us and loves all people, including the Shatikha, is offering His gift freely to each one of us. If we really believe and say ‘Amen’ to His gift once for all, we’ll receive 100 percent merit (righteousness) and inherit His glory in eternity. Brothers and sisters, if you realize you haven’t got enough merit or you lack assurance, just believe and say ‘Amen’ once for all to Jesus, the Son of the Eternal God.”
