Live for The Gospel

I live for the sake of the Gospel!

I wonder if we really understand what it means to live for the sake of the Gospel? The Apostle Paul was in daily anguish for the "SAKE" of lost souls.

Romans 9:1-3 "For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my countrymen according to the flesh. I tell the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit, that I have great sorrow and continual grief in my heart. For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my countrymen according to the flesh."

He literally desired to trade places with his fellow countrymen and take their place in Hell if it would allow them to have eternal life. Do we anguish over souls as he did? Paul shows us the heart and compassion for souls he had as he lived for the sake of the Gospel.

“Have you no wish for others to be saved? Then you're not saved yourself, be sure of that!” - Charles H. Spurgeon
