The One Thing Paul Did Consistently…

The one thing Paul did consistently, was his desire to help people not stumble. If his behavior might have caused someone to be confused about his message, he made sure he corrected it. Paul saw the bigger picture. He saw past himself. He lived his life as a millstone rejector; one that Jesus talked about. Paul lived his life always keeping in mind that his behavior influenced people. And if his behavior was selfish in nature, he would become a stumbling block to those either trying to live out the Gospel, or a roadblock to those hearing it for the first time. The key is doing what’s best for all, not just yourself. This is what imitating Christ really looks like.

31 So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. 32 Don’t give offense to Jews or Gentiles or the church of God. 33 I, too, try to please everyone in everything I do. I don’t just do what is best for me; I do what is best for others so that many may be saved. 1 Corinthians 10:31-33
