Serve God By Serving Others

               For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many - Mark 10:45.

Serve others by encouraging them

          Encourage the disheartened, help the weak, be patient with everyone - 1 Thessalonians 5:14. Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. 1 Thessalonians 5:11. Therefore comfort each other and edify one another - 1 Thessalonians 5:11.

Serve others by loving them in deed and truth

             My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth - 1 John 3:18. If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? - 1 John 3:17. Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? - James 2:15,16. 

Serve like Jesus

          Let us serve others like Jesus who came to the world to serve ans not to be served. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.  And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death - even death on a cross! - Philippians 2:5-8. 

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others - Philippians 2:3,4.   

 Be hospitable to one another without grumbling - 1 Peter 4:9.   

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Let us serve You by serving others. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
