So now I'm wondering: does this make sense? Does it make sense that the number of people who end of up in heaven will be higher, the better job Christians do of getting the word out? If they had only worked a liiiiitle harder, here in this life, there could have been 1 more convert. A lot harder, and there could have been thousands more!
God's Word says the way is narrow, and few will find it. Is that how God wanted it to be, or is He just saying that his followers aren't doing a good job?

If the number of people who end up in heaven is directly correlated to the number of people witnessed to, and the number of conversions secured, then yes it makes perfect sense.
Of course, nobody is going to end up in heaven anyway, but that's besides the point.
