Lifepoint Church - Messages From The Riverdale Campus

What makes Christianity very different than other faiths when it comes to serving is we do not serve in order to earn the favor of God. So I don’t serve others so that I may have a résumé I can throw out before God and say, “See? I can get in, huh? We’re cool, right? I mean, look at this. I worked at this homeless shelter." No, that’s not my motivation as a believer, as someone who sits under the gospel. I serve others because I have been greatly served, and I mimic my Savior because I have been conformed into the image of the Son and the Son has set an example for me about what service to the world looks like.
