Serving God is Compulsory and not just important
First of all, let us reflect upon an essential truth that governs our lives as believers: serving God is not merely a choice, but a sacred duty. As we ground our faith in the Bible, let’s look at some of the passages it contains to explain why serving God is compulsory.
View Point 1: God Expects Our Service
The Bible is clear that God expects us to serve him, out of love and appreciation for all he has done for us. In Deuteronomy 10:12, we are commanded, “And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you?” God also tells us in Matthew 4:10, “Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.” These passages make clear that God not only desires but also expects us to serve him.
View Point 2: Serving God Brings Benefits
Far from being a burden, serving God is an incredible opportunity. In all areas of life, whether spiritual or physical, serving God brings about great rewards. Physically, serving God can have an effect on things like finances, relationships, career, and family. Spiritually, God promises spiritual healing, peace, joy, and more, if we serve him faithfully. Ultimately, serving God will bring us closer to God and lead to eternal life.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, serving God is not merely an option. It is a sacred duty that comes with many wonderful benefits. Let us all take the time to reflect on how we can show our love and appreciation for God by serving him faithfully. May God open our eyes to see the reasons behind serving Him in Jesus name.
