Chris.
All of us who
are True Believers can never be really satisfied if we just live for ourselves.
Apostle Paul teaches us by Word and example, here is a part of the example, he
lived for the sake of those people who were Chosen by God. We live for God, we
live for His People and we live for the people with whom we share the Gospel.
