01.0073. The Believer Is a Servant

The Believer Is a Servant

"And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient" (2 Timothy 2:24).

Jesus Christ girded Himself with a towel and served. We too are to serve. "Saved to Serve" is a good motto for believers.

If servants we should act as servants.

Paul continually wrote of himself as "The servant (Gk. "doulos"--bondslave) of Jesus Christ". The servant is one first of all yielded to the Master.

1. Read Psalms 40:6-8 and Romans 12:1 on The Surrendered Life. The servant is also one who is serving--ready to help--patiently assisting, gently teaching, extending the helping hand.
