There are different motives for taking up spiritual responsibilities. Paul in this passage continues to explain his selfless commitment to the call of Christ to preach. He sees preaching the gospel as a sacred trust from God for which he seeks no other payment other than the blessing of being an instrument of God for converting souls to Christ. His reward or blessing is the joy of sharing the gospel with others. His hope is to win the prize. His fear is not to be disqualified. What gives you joy? Do you derive joy and satisfaction from leading sinners to Christ?
Prayer: Pray for the grace to be selfless in your commitment to Christ.
