Serving One Another

You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love.
- Galatians 5: 13

The Lord is calling us to be free, to be freed from our sins, and to serve one another as well.

|PIC1|But that rather than serve, we live judging, is a pain not only to others, but also to ourselves.

"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven."
- Luke 6:37

Despite Christ's warnings, we live judging and condemning is the most painful hurt....because it is hurting to ourselves...

Jesus is telling us to serve; because through serving, we can be served ourselves. Through loving, we can be loved as well.

It is an important foundation for our lives.
