What does it mean to be all things to all men? We spend so much time trying to make people think we are a certain way or a certain thing, why would we want to be what they are?
Paul says it is for the greater good. He said he did it do "save some," as if he realized he could not save all.
"I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible... I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some. I do this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings," (1 Corinthians 9).
I read this last night and I am really mulling over what it looks like to be such an influence on others that they are so attracted to Christ in me that they have to know what it is that makes me live the way I do.
