For the sake of the gospel

I do all things for the sake of the gospel, so that I may become a fellow partaker of it. (1 Corinthians 9.23 LSB)

The Apostle Paul's life had a singular focus: the gospel. His calling was clear and direct.

Many of us are not (or maybe not yet) called into a profession of "full time ministry". But when we give our life to Jesus, doing his will becomes the purpose of our life.

Everything we do, we directly or indirectly ought to do it "for the sake of the gospel" whatever our profession might be. So next time we face a decision to make - big or small - let us pray that God will direct us to make the decision that favour "the sake of the gospel".
