2 Cor 5:20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.
God needs us to be His ambassadors for the same reason the bible does not sit atop a tower in the Vatican and get struck by lightning every hour. Free will.
God is good Psalm 136:1, righteous in all His ways Psalm 145:17 and truly impartial Acts 10:34. Therefore true free will does exist. God does truly need us to reach the lost for Him.

It seems to me that many Christians are so caught up in pleasing others, living a nice life and being politically correct that they forget the 'only' reason they are on earth.
The lost are called the lost because they are...lost.
It is yours' and my 'one' job to take the 'unadulterated' gospel to the lost. Wherever God places us.
As such, let's not fail at our 'one' job. Please.
Watering down scripture is like giving a person who is drowning a life jacket that does not inflate.
Misrepresenting God to the lost is perhaps one sin that I (a firm OSAS believer) would not at all be surprised at it resulting in your name being removed from the book of life Rev 22:18-19.
I mean, for crying out aloud, how do you honestly expect to talk to God in heaven for all eternity if you...are...that....person that lied to others about Him. Imagine that. It will not happen. You will simply will 'not' be in heaven.
