"though i am free and belong to no man, i make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible" 1 corinthians 9:19
"i do all this for the sake of the gospel, that i may share in its blessings." 1 corinthians 9:23
if i believe i am saved and want to save others, am i compromising the gospel by mingling with people who do things i don't approve of in order to "win as many as possible"?
if people are drinking or partying, but i don't approve/enjoy it at all ... would God bless me for sacrificing myself to share the gospel? I go to a college where there are many people unsaved and I want to "make myself a slave to everyone to win as many as possible" 1 corinthians 9:19
I believe in my heart that I am saved. I trust myself not to get lost in the world's temptations - that is not the issue at hand. I am young, however, and know that many have interpreted the bible wrong and I am not ready to do the same.
Please answer with details, thanks.
God bless you.
