Gospel Mission: The Purpose Of Our Lives

…I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some. [23] I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with them in its blessings.
—1 Corinthians 9: 22b-23

a.) Through Our Everyday Lives…

[13] For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. [14] I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. [15] My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. [16] Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.
—Psalm 139:13–16

In Your Everyday Life - Can You Add...

• A Community Aspect - by involving other members of your church family?
• A Missional Aspect - by intentionally involving unbelievers?
• A Gospel Aspect - by identifying opportunities to talk about the gospel?

b.) Through Living Attractive Lives

c.) Through Living Sacrificial Lives

[19] For though I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win more of them. [20] To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law. [21] To those outside the law I became as one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but under the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law. [22] To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some. [23] I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with them in its blessings. —1 Corinthians 9:19–23
