Are you a servant to all?

Short and sweet today. Read this verse:


1 Corinthians 9:19

19 For though I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win more of them.



In the fist part of this verse Paul is saying he has taken care of himself in the ministry although he teaches the church has an obligation to take care of the ministers of the gospel. When He says free from all he is basically saying he don't owe anybody anything.



In the middle part of the verse Paul is telling us he is a servant to all people...Jews and gentiles. This is a clear teaching for each of us to serve all people...rich or poor, imprisoned or free, white, black, yellow or brown, no matter their religion. We are to serve others!



In the last part of the verse Paul tells us why we serve, to win more to Jesus! Folks that is our main responsibility as a follower of Jesus Christ. It is not even an option....Jesus said GO! Make disciples of all nations!



Are you doing this? No excuses! Be a servant to all to win folks to Jesus and keep them from an eternity in hell. God loves each person and has provided salvation to all!
