๐ŸŒบBeloved, the Bible teaches that we should be faithful in serving God because He is faithful to us.

๐ŸŒบHe has called us to serve, and faithful service brings rewards such as a deeper relationship with God, a greater sense of purpose, and even eternal life.

๐ŸŒบFaithfulness to God in service is a demonstration of our love, trust, and commitment to Him in return for His love and promises towards us.

๐Ÿ“’1 Samuel 12:24 AMP tells usโ€ฆ

โญ•๏ธโ€œOnly fear the Lord [with awe and profound reverence] and serve Him faithfully with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you.โ€

๐ŸŒบFaithfulness involves trusting in God, following His commandments, and continuing to follow Him even when life is difficult.

๐Ÿ“’Colossians 3:17 AMP tells usโ€ฆ

โญ•๏ธโ€œWhatever you do [no matter what it is] in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus [and in dependence on Him], giving thanks to God the Father through Him.โ€

๐ŸŒบFaithfulness in service enables us to trust in God that He will provide for and care for us.

๐ŸŒบService helps us demonstrate faith as a fruit of the Spirit.

๐ŸŒบFaithfulness in service is a core quality God requires, evidenced by the promises of reward for those who are faithful and the example of Jesus, who remained faithful to God’s will.

๐Ÿ“’Matthew 25:21 AMP also tells usโ€ฆ

โญ•๏ธโ€œHis master said to him, โ€˜Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful and trustworthy over a little, I will put you in charge of many things; share in the joy of your master.โ€™โ€

๐ŸŒบService help us gain wisdom and strength or stability to endure difficult times.
