“For the Gospel’s Sake”
1 Corinthians 9:19-23
What is the Gospel?
Why is the Gospel important?
The Gospel provides salvation and enables sanctification:
The Gospel bridges the gap between sinful man and a Holy God!
1.
A Willing EXCHANGE(1) (v.
19)
A. Liberty (free from all men)
Physically, Paul was a free-born citizen of Rome!
Spiritually, Paul was a born-again follower of Christ!
B. Limitations (made myself servant)
Paul willingly limited his rights seeing the big picture!
2. A Wide EMBRACE (2) (vv.20-22)
Paul knew that all men needed the Gospel.
His reach was wide because he saw people as individuals in need of Christ!
A. For the nationally cultured (to the Jew)
Those who are politically or socially different than you.
B. For the religiously costumed (them that are under the law)
Those who believe different than you religiously.
C. For the naturally comfortable (them that are without law)
Those who think they are fine with where they are at.
D. For the offendable conscience (to the weak)
Those who are offended easily.
Paul was not guaranteed that everyone he reached out to would accept the truth, but he was willing to try!
3. A Wonderful ENDEAVOR (3) (v.
23)
A. Of personal significance (the Gospel’s sake)
The Gospel had made a personal difference in Paul’s life!
-1 Corinthians 11:23 – “For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you…”
-1 Corinthians 15:3 – “For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received”
-1 Corinthians 9:16 – “For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!”
B. Of practical selflessness (partaker thereof with you)
Paul’s concern for the lost was greater than his concern for self.
He saw the brevity of life as an opportunity!
Conclusion:
Have you personally accepted the Gospel as your only means of salvation?
Are you passionately living life for the Gospel’s sake?
