Good morning,
Believers in Christ have a responsibility to serve. But how? Galatians 6:1-10 has some ideas.
GALATIANS 6:1-10
OPPORTUNITIES FOR SERVICE
1) BEAR ONE ANOTHERS BURDENS (1-6)
Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.4 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.5 For every man shall bear his own burden.6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.
2) SOW RIGHTEOUSNESS (7-8)
7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
3) DO GOOD TO ALL MEN (9-10)
9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
CONCLUSION:
And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; (Colossians 3: 23)
