A Sacred Responsibility
Like the prophet Jeremiah, Paul was called to preach the Word of God. Preaching was fashioned into the fabric of his being; he could do nothing else. In 1 Corinthians 9, the apostle describes that his obligation to preach was not forced, but a divine compulsion, for which he expected no reward. Alistair Begg encourages anyone considering this sacred responsibility to look to Paul to gauge his own motivation.
