Here is a question for you. Paul wrote:
19For though I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win more of them. 20 To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law. 21To those outside the law I became as one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but under the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law. 22 To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some. 23I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with them in its blessings. - 1 Cor 9
Who did Paul think he was, that he “might save some”?
Who did Paul think he was, that he “might save some”?
Here is an entire sermon on the subject:
The short of the sermon is that Paul knew very well who does ALL of the saving, and Paul was not afraid to use this language because he knew his readers/listeners would understand exactly where he was coming from. The attention remains on God and we are used by God as His instrumentalities for HIM to save men. God could have saved in a thousand different ways, but He chose to use men to preach the Good News (faith by hearing). Paul is grateful and pleased that God had chosen him to witness this through him.
