CloseThe opening three chapters of 1 Corinthians are an exhortation to the Corinthian believers to stop immaturely evaluating messengers of the gospel by worldly standards. In urging them to grow up in Christ, Paul reminds them, in 4:1–5, that it is God’s assessment of one’s ministry, rather than human assessment, that will ultimately matter. Paul points to both the responsibility and accountability of Christian leaders, using himself as an example. His conclusion is straightforward: His ultimate audience is God. This Divine evaluation is what matters. In explaining this, Paul points to three related truths that matter: 1. The Mindset that Matters (v. 1) 2. The Metric that Matters (v. 2) 3. The Motivation that Matters (vv. 3–5)
