Our Relationship With the World Theme: Committed to reaching the lost..for the sake of the gospel. 1 Cor. 9: Corinthians 9:19-23

Review From Last Week We cannot have the kind of full and rich life in this world without a genuine relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Nor can we have the kind of relationships with people of the world without changing how we view them: the way Jesus did.

Introduction If you have the truth, then evangelizing… –Is not about mechanics (saying all the right things, at the right time, etc.) –Is not about a 10 month “discipleship program” for the person you’re trying to reach. –It’s all about God and the soul needing Him. cp. Matt. 22:37-39; Matt. 28:18-20

Committed to doing “all things for the sake of the gospel” 1 Corinthians 9

Become a Slave to All Men RE: last week’s “relationship with God.” By having a genuine relationship with God we’ll learn how to be free from all men. cp. Col. 2:16ff Ultimately, however, a true follower of Christ voluntarily gives up His freedom (Phil. 2:5ff) and becomes a slave to all men. 1 Cor. 9:19-23

Become a Slave to All Men Of Paul: 1 Corinthians 9 – To the Jew, he became as a Jew… to win Jews. v. 20 –To those under the law as under the Law. v. 20 –To those who are without law… v. 21 –To the weak... v. 22

For the sake of the gospel, become a servant to all in bringing the gospel to them.

Serve With Your Eye on the PRIZE Your purpose: you’re made to glorify God. –To be a vessel of honor. Rom. 9:21 –A workmanship made for good works. Eph. 2:10 Your goal: “do all things for the sake of the gospel”: –Every action should compel you to reach the lost. –Your attitude compels you to do it with the mindset of Christ.

Serve With Your Eye on the PRIZE Serve with self-control. –Your actions: follows through with the purpose set forth. –Bottom: you (voluntarily) make your body a slave to all, for the sake of the gospel. Serve with endurance.

The Net Result: 1 st Century Conversions in the 21 st Century! Biblical conversion stories took place very shortly after having first received the word. Acts 2, Acts 8, Acts 10, etc. NOTE: inferred – some went a long period before becoming disciples of Christ…namely, Jesus’ family, various Pharisees, priests, etc. Today: –It is not only reasonable to expect people in this world to hear and believe in the same hour… –…It happens!

Conclusion The reward is great: valuable souls will hear the good news from vessels of honor. Are you willing to “run in such a way” to reach the gospel to this world?
