“To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.”
1 Corinthians 9:22 KJV
Paul is telling the Corinthian church that his persuasion is that every person is included in Christ and his desire is to be everything he needs to be in order to win everyone’s understanding of their union with Christ. Paul did not present himself as super strong to the weak, but rather exposed himself to their weakness in order to win them. Paul did not distance himself from anyone. His mission was to be exactly what was required of him in every possible situation, to awaken every kind of person, whoever they were, to their own salvation - he had no other agenda! This was his passion for the Lord Jesus Christ. We live in a time where we must awaken to our passion for the Lord Jesus, let our love for Him awaken every kind of person to the salvation that Christ wrought for us, and to make it available as the power of the Gospel in peoples’ lives. Hallelujah!
