God has given every person a purpose and a ministry. In previous chapters, we saw the Bible’s call to maximize that ministry/purpose. In this chapter, we learn that maximizing our ministry and living out our purpose will require sacrificing personal comforts and pleasures. However, we are reminded that we do not sacrifice to earn God’s favour or as a way to flaunt our spiritual superiority. Rather, we sacrifice as a demonstration of our love for God and as a way to gain that which we desire more, the salvation of sinners.
