SERVICE TO GOD
There are requirements biblicaly in order to serve God.
We must look to the bible and do a self-exam.
I. THE REQUIREMENTS TO SERVE GOD:
A. Fear ( Ps. 2:11)
Fear as in REVERENCE for God and his Holy word.
A healthy fear that produces GODLY living.
B. Upright walking ( Ps. 101:6)
We cant just talk the talk, we have to walk it also, by biblical standards not our own!
C. Absolute loyalty ( Matt 6:24)
Either you want to serve God or you don't there is no middle ground.
You have to stand firm in your faith!
D. Regeneration ( Rom 7:6)
You have to be saved, changed, and have a testimony.
You have to be able to give a reason for your faith!
E. Serve the Lord ( Rom 12:11)
You cannot serve 2 masters, you will love one and hate the other, know who you serve.
F. Humility ( Acts 20:19)
You must have a humble, servant attitude.
In order to be a leader you must first be a servant!
G. Love ( Gal 5:13)
The key to everything godly is LOVE!
If you lack love then you are not a servant of Jesus Christ and you dont have what it takes
to serve God in the Ministry.
II. THERE ARE REWARDS TO SERVING GOD, THEY ARE:
A. Divine Honor ( John 12:26)
Those who serve faithfully will be acknowledged before God!
B. Acceptance Before God ( Rom 14:18)
Those who served well will be spoken for by Jesus, our spiritual attorney!
C. Inheritance ( Col 3:24)
Those who served, or are Christians, will receive the inheritance of eternal life-
and whatever God has planned for you!
D. Eternal Blessedness ( Rev. 7:15)
We who are Christians will see the kingdom of heaven and share it with God eternally.
Many blessings will fall on us, such as, no more tears, etc.
Service to God means sacrifice and loyalty. There is no partial service accepted.
All those who serve God serve him well so that once we return home they will
receive their just reward!
