    Saved To Serve

    Contributed by David Hersey on Mar 27, 2015
     | 10,690 views

    A relationship with God is a long term commitment and dependent upon obedience to His will. Christians are therefore saved to serve God. This lesson looks at Christian service from a comprehensive biblical perspective.

    Saved To Serve A few months ago, we looked at how to develop a relationship with God. We learned that only the obedient know Him (1 John 2:4); love Him (John 14:23-24); are His friends (John 15:14); and of His family (Matthew 12:50). We looked at the importance of obedience to God as it relates ...read more

    We see a foreshadowing of Christ's Amazing grace in the book of Ezekiel. When God's people rebelled, and deserved judgment, God recued them from their enemy, redeemed them from their impurity, and restored them with a heart of humility. Amazing Grace!
