YOUR PURPOSE IS TO SERVE OTHERS

 “For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.” — Galatians 5:13 (NKJV)


God has saved us by His grace and given us freedom in Christ. But this freedom is not a license to live selfishly. Galatians 5:13 clearly tells us that we are called to liberty, but we must not use our freedom to please our own desires. Instead, we are called to use our freedom to serve others with love.

When God blesses you with life, knowledge, money, or gifts, He expects you to use them to lift others. Jesus, our perfect example, came not to be served but to serve (Mark 10:45). He spent His life helping the poor, healing the sick, and preaching hope. If you are a follower of Christ, your purpose is to serve others just as He did.

In Philippians 2:3-4, the Bible says, “Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.” This teaches us that we must think beyond ourselves. Real greatness is found in how we treat and care for others.

Romans 12:10-11 also reminds us: “Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another; not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord.” When we serve others, we are also serving God.

Your talents, time, and treasures are tools. Use them to encourage the weak, lift the fallen, and guide the lost. Serving others is not always easy, but it brings true joy and eternal rewards.

Prayer: Lord, help me to use my life and freedom to serve others with love. Amen.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

MISPLACED FEAR

Matthew 10:28  (NKJV) says: “And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”   This is a direct call from Jesus to correct our fears. Many people fear human threats, sickness, poverty, storms, or death. Yet Jesus reminds us that these things can only touch the body. The true danger is sin, because it separates us from God and leads to eternal destruction. The only fear that matters is the fear of God, for He alone holds the destiny of both the body and soul. One day I was in a garage fixing my car. It was an open space and suddenly it began raining heavily. All the mechanics rushed to take shelter inside. As we stood, they began sharing jokes, laughing about drinking and the women they slept with. I always preach to them, telling them to repent and receive Jesus. But they laughed it off. As we were standing there inside, suddenly the storm grew stronger, with thunder and lightning flashin...
