O que a Bíblia ensina sobre servir ao Senhor

Servir ao Senhor é dedicar a vida inteira a Deus, reconhecendo a autoridade dEle sobre cada decisão e atitude diária. Nas Escrituras, esse serviço não se restringe a funções religiosas: trata-se de uma postura de lealdade exclusiva, obediência à Sua Palavra e amor prático ao próximo.

Quando Josué reuniu o povo de Israel em Siquém, ele destacou que servir a Deus exige uma decisão consciente e firme:

But if it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served, which were beyond the Euphrates River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."(Joshua 24:15)

"And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and love Him, and to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to keep the Lord’s commandments and His statutes which I am commanding you today for your good?(Deuteronomy 10:12,13)

not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;(Romans 12:11)

Only be very careful to follow the commandment and the Law which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, to love the Lord your God and walk in all His ways, and keep His commandments and cling to Him, and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul."(Joshua 22:5)

You shall follow the Lord your God and fear Him; and you shall keep His commandments, listen to His voice, serve Him, and cling to Him.(Deuteronomy 13:4)

how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?(Hebrews 9:14)

Jesus como modelo de servo

Cristo redefiniu o conceito de grandeza. Enquanto o mundo associa autoridade ao domínio sobre os outros, Jesus lavou os pés dos discípulos e colocou a própria vida à disposição da humanidade:

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many."(Mark 10:45)

It is not this way among you, but whoever wants to become prominent among you shall be your servant,and whoever desires to be first among you shall be your slave;(Matthew 20:26,27)

So if I, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.(John 13:14)

And sitting down, He called the twelve and *said to them, "If anyone wants to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all."(Mark 9:35)

just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many."(Matthew 20:28)

Servir a Deus cuidando do próximo

A devoção a Deus se expressa diretamente nas relações cotidianas. O apóstolo Paulo explica que a liberdade trazida pelo evangelho não é desculpa para o egoísmo, mas uma oportunidade para se colocar a serviço das necessidades alheias:

For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but serve one another through love.(Galatians 5:13)

Act as free people, and do not use your freedom as a covering for evil, but use it as bond-servants of God.(1 Peter 2:16)

If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also; if anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.(John 12:26)

"No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.(Matthew 6:24)

and do not go on presenting the parts of your body to sin asinstruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those who are alive from the dead, and your body’s parts asinstruments of righteousness for God.(Romans 6:13)

A fidelidade e a promessa do Senhor

Muitas vezes o serviço diário é silencioso e não recebe reconhecimento humano. A Escritura ensina que Deus conhece a dedicação de quem permanece fiel nas pequenas tarefas e que nenhuma dedicação feita a Ele se perde:

His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter the joy of your master.’(Matthew 25:21)

Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be firm, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.(1 Corinthians 15:58)

All Scripture is inspired by God and beneficial for teaching, for rebuke, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man or woman of God may be fully capable, equipped for every good work.(2 Timothy 3:16,17)

The steps of a man are established by the Lord,

And He delights in his way.(Psalm 37:23)

The Lord redeems the souls of His servants,

And none of those who take refuge in Him will suffer for their guilt.(Psalm 34:22)
