Saved to Serve

This lesson explores the essential Christian concept of servitude, emphasizing that every believer is called to a life of active service. We begin by examining the "Greatness of Servanthood," noting that being a servant of God is an immense honor shared by the great prophets of old and New Testament writers. You will discover that Jesus Himself set the ultimate example by coming "not to be served, but to serve," choosing the path of a suffering servant to fulfill God's purpose.

We further delve into the core "Concepts of Servanthood," which demand absolute obedience, humility, and loyalty. You will learn that as Christ’s possession, a Christian should have no law but the Master’s word and no rights of their own. This section challenges you to examine your relationship with Christ: are you coming to Him on His terms with a humble heart, or are you murmuring and complaining about the duties of your calling?

Finally, the lesson identifies common "Hindrances to Servanthood" that can render a Christian's work fruitless. We discuss the dangers of serving the wrong master, such as materialism, and the trap of placing limits on where, when, or whom you are willing to serve. By recognizing attitudes like pride, laziness, and ingratitude, you can clear the path to a noble life of service. We conclude by celebrating the reward of this calling—a servitude that leads to righteousness and the end result of eternal life.
