F.B. Meyer reflects on the profound fear that even the most devoted servants of God, like Paul, can experience regarding the possibility of becoming a castaway after preaching to others. He emphasizes that this dread can haunt individuals, driving them to introspection about their spiritual state and effectiveness in ministry. Meyer shares his own struggles with this fear, questioning whether he might be a castaway if he does not see the fruits of his labor. He challenges the congregation to consider their own spiritual condition and the reality of being a castaway, urging them to remain vigilant in their faith.
