Servant

Christian Brethren Are To Spread the Testimony of Jesus

Revelation 19:10. Part of being a Christian brethren is to spread the testimony of Jesus Christ. In the book of Revelation an angel tells John (the author of Revelation) that he is a “ fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus”. All of us that call ourselves Christian brethren have the responsibility to spread the testimony of Jesus Christ, the Good News. We may think that we are not as well equipped as our local Pastor or a television evangelist, but God has given us all special talents and gifts to spread the Gospel.

Refraining From Sin and Being Good is Good Works in Itself

1 Corinthians 6:19. Good works is also refraining from sin. Jesus walked on this Earth and did not sin. His example of a sinless life proves and inspires us that we do not have to sin. We can do the same “good works” of refraining from sin and inspiring others (1 Corinthians 6:19, “What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?”).

Good Works Through Being Good Stewards

1 Peter 4:10. All of us are given gifts and talents from God. God gives us these gifts and talents because of the grace and love He has for us. With these gifts and talents, God expects us to be good stewards and do good works with the resources that He has provided us (1 Peter 4:10, "As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God").

God Rewards the Industrious

Matthew 25:21. Jesus’ story of the five golden talents illustrates how we should be industrious with the talents that God provides us. In the parable, the lord provided each of his servants a certain number of golden talents. It was not said, but it was known by all of his servants that the lord expected them to increase his golden talents while he was gone.

Angels - The Natural and the Supernatural

Hebrews 1:14. Throughout the Bible many, many people witnessed angels. The literal definition of an angel means messenger, a messenger of God. God made angels for this purpose. Angels are different from humans. They are "ministering spirits (Hebrews 1:14,"Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?". They can sin and be destined for Hell.

Alms Giving is an Act of Good Works That Illuminates You Love of God and People

Acts 9:34. Christians should be known for their good works and alms giving just as Jesus is known for his good works. Our Christian reputation should not be motivated by pride, but our good works should illuminate to a sinful world God’s truth and goodness. Doing a good work is one of the best ways to get a sinner’s attention and to demonstrate that there is a more joyous way to live (Acts 9:36, “Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did”).

Lusting of the Eye is A Wrong Choice

Romans 1:25. Many of us may worship God for a season, but then get distracted by the lust of the eye and make wrong choices by putting other things above God. Your lust of the eye is basically idol worshiping. God made us to worship Him, but we will quickly make a wrong choice to worship things that are not God. It is in our nature to worship. The problem is that instead of worshiping God we will worship the other woman, our job, our car, or even ourselves. Your lust of the eye worships everything, but God.

Do Not Rely On Yourself, Rely On God

Luke 15:17. God desires for all of us to rely on Him, but it is our choice. The prodigal son had a choice to serve his father or squander his inheritance. He chose for a while to squander his inheritance. Once his money ran out and he was hungry, He started to value his relationship with his father. He saw that his father's hired servants had enough bread to eat versus he, his son, was hungry (Luke 15:17, "And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!").

Old Man, New Man

How did Jesus change our relationship with God? Do I have a sin nature? How do I become a new man (or woman) in Christ? Why is it so important?

Romans 6:6. These questions are key for new believers as well as all Christians. All of us must understand that by accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we become dead to sin and the new man is alive in us. This is the start of our new relationship with God and the sanctification process of the new man in us. We are no longer servants of sin.

Is There A God If We Define What Is Right And Wrong?

Romans 1:25. Our sin nature continues to ask the question, is there a God, because we want to be disobedient to God. We desire to be wise and define what is right and wrong (Romans 1:22, "Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools"). In our efforts to deny God, mankind has defined competing theories of creation such as evolution theory and the "big bang" theory.
