It jars on the ears of the men and women who walk in Love. So our whole life swings into the orbit of this new kind of Love; this New Creation Life. This is the thing that Paul gave us. 1 Cor. 10:33, "Even as I also please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of the many, that they may be saved." And then he says, "Be ye imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ." That is heart-searching, isn't it? Not living to profit from my brethren, but living only to help them. But how I Cor. 9:21-22 challenges us. He said in the 20th verse, "To the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain Jews." (He had stopped being a Jew; he had become a New Creation ; he was a Christian.) "To them that are under the law, as under the law, not being myself under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law ; to them that are without law, as without law, not being with out law to God, but under law to Christ, that I might gain them that are without law.

"To the weak I became weak, that I might gain the weak : I am become all things to all men, that I may by all means save some." What Christian workers we would make if Love melted us into that cast! What Jesus-believers we would be! What soul winners!

What mighty men and women of God! You see, the Gospel comes first. The lost must be reached; they must know this new Life. In Rom. 15:1-2, there is another challenge of the believer to his brother believer: "Now we that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves."
