Our call to become like Christ is a call to serve the people around us. Jesus served His Father by caring for people, so we serve God by meeting the temporal and spiritual needs of those around us.
Service produces spiritual growth. God is continually transforming believers into the image of Christ but our self-centeredness often gets in the way. Serving others is one tool the Lord uses to free us of selfishness.
Service achieves God’s purpose for our life. The Lord has work for each of us to accomplish in our lifetime (Ephesians 2:10). If we only take in and never give out, we will miss much of what He has planned for us.
