I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings. (1 Corinthians 9:23 NIV)
As true Disciples of Christ, our goal must be to win souls for Him. To win others for Christ, we are to present the Gospel to the lost people without offending them. Christ died on the cross to save. Apostle Paul said, “I have become all things to all men so that by all means, save some.” He did all things for the sake of the Gospel. We must do the same. Do all things to save some; be all things for the sake of the Gospel. When we share the Gospel to others, we diffuse the knowledge of God to everyone in every place. To God, we become sweet fragrance of incense acceptable to Him; to those who are saved, we are the aroma leading to life; but, to those who are offended, we are the aroma leading to death. If we do not preach the Gospel, souls cannot be saved. We cannot save souls if we only live according to the Gospel, we have to preach and tell others the Gospel. God commanded it to us who are saved. The angels were not asked to preach Christ. They may be able to tell people about Christ most effectively, but they were not ordered to do so. It is us who are saved that are given this marching order. We should have this goal of winning souls for Christ and with the message of His Agape love for all people. BY ALL MEANS, LET US SAVE SOME! LET US, IN ONE VOICE, IN ONE SPIRIT, IN ONE HEART, PROCLAIM THE GOSPEL FOR THE SALVATION OF MEN.
