Discipleship: Serving God, serving others

1. Defining the Character of a Christian Galatians 5:22-23 (NKJV):'But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.' 2. A Heart to Serve Others Matthew 20:28 (NKJV), it says:'just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.' Philippians 2:3-4 (NKJV)'Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.' 3. A Heart to Serve God Colossians 3:23-24 (NKJV), 'And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.' Romans 12:1 (NKJV)'I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.'
