3 Reasons We Serve God
Reasons we have to serve our Lord and Savior, God Almighty. It is through His divine grace and benevolence that we exist, for He created us, bestowed upon us the gift of Jesus Christ, and continues to bless us each day. Let us explore these three profound reasons and blessings that inspire our service to God.

I. God Created Us
In the beginning, God formed the heavens and the earth, and in His image, He created humanity. We are fearfully and wonderfully made, each of us uniquely designed with purpose and potential. Our existence itself is a testament to God's love and divine plan. As His creations, we are called to serve and honor Him with our lives.
Scripture affirms this truth in Psalm 139:14, which states, "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." Understanding that we are God's creation, made in His image, ignites within us a desire to serve and glorify Him with our actions, thoughts, and talents.
II. God Gave Us Jesus
The greatest manifestation of God's love for humanity is found in the gift of His Son, Jesus Christ. In John 3:16, we are reminded of this profound truth: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." Jesus willingly came into the world, lived a sinless life, and sacrificed Himself on the cross to redeem us from our sins.
Through His death and resurrection, Jesus paved the way for our salvation, offering us forgiveness, grace, and eternal life. As followers of Christ, we are called to serve God out of gratitude for the immeasurable gift of salvation that He has freely given us. Our service becomes an expression of love and devotion to the One who loved us first.

III. God Blesses Us Everyday
God's blessings surround us daily, even in the midst of challenges and trials. James 1:17 affirms, "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows." As we pause to reflect, we realize the countless blessings that God pours upon us: the air we breathe, the provision of our needs, the beauty of creation, the love of family and friends, and so much more.
Recognizing these blessings awakens within us a spirit of gratitude and a desire to serve God. Our service becomes an offering of thanksgiving for the continuous outpouring of His love and goodness in our lives. We seek to share His blessings with others, to be vessels of His grace, and to extend His love to a broken world.
