Servir

Por Bíblia Online –

Servir é o coração do evangelho. Jesus não veio para ser servido, mas para servir. O cristão é chamado a seguir esse exemplo, colocando-se a serviço de Deus e do próximo.

O exemplo de Jesus

Cristo é o modelo supremo de serviço. Ele lavou os pés dos discípulos e deu a própria vida como resgate por muitos.

45 for even the Son of Man came not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

28 even as the Son of Man did not come to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

26 but not so shall it be among you, but whoever may will among you to become great, let him be your ministrant;27 and whoever may will among you to be first, let him be your servant;

14 if then I did wash your feet -- the Lord and the Teacher -- ye also ought to wash one anothers feet.

35 and having sat down he called the twelve, and he saith to them, If any doth will to be first, he shall be last of all, and minister of all.

Servindo ao Senhor

Servir a Deus é um privilégio e uma ordenança. Devemos amá-lo de todo coração e servi-lo com alegria e fidelidade.

15 and if wrong in your eyes to serve Jehovah -- choose for you to-day whom ye do serve; -- whether the gods whom your fathers served, which [are] beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorite in whose land ye are dwelling; and I and my house -- we serve Jehovah.

5 Only, be very watchful to do the command and the law which Moses, servant of Jehovah, commanded you, to love Jehovah your God, and to walk in all His ways, and to keep His commands, and to cleave to Him, and to serve Him, with all your heart, and with all your soul.

12 And now, Israel, what is Jehovah thy God asking from thee, except to fear Jehovah thy God, to walk in all His ways, and to love Him, and to serve Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul,13 to keep the commands of Jehovah, and His statutes which I am commanding thee to-day, for good to thee?

4 after Jehovah your God ye walk, and Him ye fear, and His commands ye keep, and to His voice ye hearken, and Him ye serve, and to Him ye cleave.

11 in the diligence not slothful; in the spirit fervent; the Lord serving;

14 how much more shall the blood of the Christ (who through the age-during Spirit did offer himself unblemished to God) purify your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

Servir ao próximo

A liberdade cristã nos chama a servir uns aos outros pelo amor. Cada dom recebido é para edificação do corpo de Cristo.

13 For ye -- to freedom ye were called, brethren, only not the freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through the love serve ye one another,

16 as free, and not having the freedom as the cloak of the evil, but as servants of God;

26 if any one may minister to me, let him follow me, and where I am, there also my ministrant shall be; and if any one may minister to me -- honour him will the Father.

24 None is able to serve two lords, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to the one, and despise the other; ye are not able to serve God and Mammon.

13 neither present ye your members instruments of unrighteousness to the sin, but present yourselves to God as living out of the dead, and your members instruments of righteousness to God;

Fidelidade e recompensa

O servo fiel e sábio será recompensado pelo Senhor. A fidelidade no serviço honra a Deus e produz frutos eternos.

21 And his lord said to him, Well done, servant, good and faithful, over a few things thou wast faithful, over many things I will set thee; enter into the joy of thy lord.

58 so that, my brethren beloved, become ye stedfast, unmovable, abounding in the work of the Lord at all times, knowing that your labour is not vain in the Lord.

16 every Writing [is] God-breathed, and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for setting aright, for instruction that [is] in righteousness,17 that the man of God may be fitted -- for every good work having been completed.

23 From Jehovah [are] the steps of a man, They have been prepared, And his way he desireth.

22 Jehovah redeemeth the soul of His servants, And none trusting in Him are desolate!
