PASSIONATE PURSUIT...HE'S ALL THINGS TO ALL MEN

I Corinthians 9:19-23
For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.
And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;
To the that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law of Christ,) that I might gain them that are without the law.
To the weak became I as the weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men that I might by all means save some.
As this I do for the gospel’s sake that I might be partaker thereof with you.
The Lord is stating that although I’m free from all men, sanctified unto God by his Holy word, yet am I bound to every member of his body by His Holy Spirit to perform His word in perfecting that which may be lacking in the faith. Because of my surrender I am made a servant of all that through my obedience to do the will of my father, many are compelled to return unto God and repent of their sins. How do I compel them? Well, unto the Jews I became a Jew. Therefore, first recognizing that the Jews are chosen of God and therefore I humble myself as His chosen and seemingly outnumbered. Yet, I am the apple of his eye. Jews held to tradition and yet they were still able to be won by the love of Christ. Humbling himself to the lowly estate, He broke past formality and restored the simplicity of faith. To those that were under the law… as to say that I recognize what Moses commanded by the Spirit and now has the Lord moved in a more excellent way  to bring forth the grace of God unto salvation.  #keepseeking #watchandpray
