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" (2Ti_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 Psa_40:6-8 and Rom_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.
