If you have ever questioned how you are doing spiritually, a great question to ask yourself is this?  “Am I sacrificing for God’s people and His Gospel?”  How you answer that question will make things crystal clear.  If your answer is “no,” you are nowhere close to where you need to be.    

The reason the Apostle Paul is such a wonderful example for us of what it means to walk worthy for God is because he was willing to lay everything down for the cause of Christ and for the sake of others and he did so time and time againIn Ephesians 3:1, Paul reminds the Christians of his day that he is writing to them from prison.  He actually mentions it twice in this letter alone and the reason he does so is to remind his audience that there are certain risks that are right—there are certain sacrifices that can and should be made for God’s Kingdom. 

If you are not making sacrifices for God’s Gospel and for His people—if you are not willing to make sacrifices to help the church accomplish Christ’s Great Commission and advance God’s Kingdom, what should that tell you about you, spiritually?
