Being Influential for Good in the Lives of Others

Paul was an apostle who was a servant of the Lord. He was a missionary who strived to bring all people to hear the truth of the gospel. In these verses Paul taught that in order to teach the gospel effectively we need to understand the people whom we are teaching. He adapted himself to the conditions and circumstances of the people he wanted to hear his message of the gospel. He believed so strongly the message of the gospel that he was willing to do anything needed to bring about repentance from the people.

We too can use this tool to be missionaries. When others feel comfortable with us and don’t feel like we think we are better than them they are more inclined to hear what we say. When we truly love and care about others they will gravitate to where we are. We can be a missionary just by setting a example to influence others for good. We need to be the type of people who have the light of Christ shining so brightly that everyone wants to be near. We can use Paul as our example of the way to teach and be a good missionary. He did everything he did for the “gospel’s sake”
