Every person born on this earth is guilty in the sight of God for breaking his Law.
1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

God looked down upon humanity and loved us, and had mercy on us.
1 John 4:10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
Christians, you are bought with a price, and that price was the blood of Jesus who died for your sins.
1 Corinthians 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we are no longer ours, but we are God’s.

Jesus died on the cross for us and shed his blood so we could have eternal life.

Serving Jesus is mandatory for all who Jesus has saved.
The church of today has created a false distinction between those who are ministers and those who are not.
The ministers are thought to be “called” to serve God, but the ones sitting in the seats of the Church are not called. They are just the congregation who volunteer some of their spare time.
There is no teaching in the Bible that some Christians are called to serve God, and others are not.
Every Christian is saved to serve. God hasn’t saved anyone so that they can sit around. Every person God saves is called to serve Jesus according to how God has gifted him.
1 Peter 4:10 As every man hath received the gift, even so, minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
1 Peter 4:11 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
1 Colossians 3:23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
1 Colossians 3:24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
The word minister in the Bible means a servant, a waiter, like someone who waits on tables. We are to serve God by serving each other and doing service to those in need.
