Can we serve GOD, Personally?
Do GOD need our service?


PEace!

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.



Paul exhorts Christians to serve God personally with their bodies as a living sacrifice.




Question: "Does God need our service?"


No, but man is created to serve God. It is not for God's good that He enjoins Christians to serve Him. He's fine without us. Just look at eternity past before the creation of the world, He existed without us or even angels.


It is for the Christian's good that God exhorts and commands that they serve Him. God does not need Man, but Man needs God. Without Him man is like a comet lost in space.


Man is created FOR God. His life will be meaningless and empty and void of true and genuine purpose if he does not serve God. God out of love, created man for Him and then exhorts and commands him [for man's good] to serve Him.

^ Very true.

"For Thou has created us for Thyself, oh Lord, and our hearts are restless until it rests in Thee." (St. Augustine)

So does it mean, brod, nga we are only here to serve him and only that? and if he won't, life would be meaningless?

I think , brod, it's illogical, I have live for meaningful years without serving GOD...

I have live myself by knowing my "true" self and his creations therefore being intimate with HIM...by doing so, I can see his image on others as I see it within me...., thus, have smiled to strangers and offered aid to others without strain...It's very fun and enjoyable if life would be spend through this manner...

yes to both questions, if you feel like it

[Hellblazer 2.1]

God is always a personal thing, projected as something separate as if it is really existing.

[Pein]

we can serve God by doing good to others.

Mat 25:40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

kanang naka-bantay lagi ko ni ely soriano, pein, na mo-ingon siya ug, "Gago! Ulol! Tarantado!", unsa man ni siya, pein? Kristohanon ni siya na mga pulong? maapil ba ni nato na service to God na dili mag-hulat ug baslan? kay sa akong tan-aw, gi-baslan na man siya sa iyang mga gipang-bastos, pien.

aw depende sa kaistorya. kung ang kaistorya, gago jud, ulol jud, tarantado jud, para sa ako dili na dautan. nagpakatotoo lang...

Tit 1:13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;

Mat 5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
