GraceLife Thoughts – Serving God

Every Christian is a servant of God now, whether they fully understand that or not. God has gifted us with talents and spiritual gifts for the purpose of serving Him and bringing Him glory and honor while we are alive on the earth. Even the angels who stand before God in Heaven understand that they are fellow servants with us.

Then I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, ‘See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. Revelation 19:10

The angels in Heaven are “ministering spirits” who God sends forth “to minister for those who will inherit salvation” (Hebrews 1:14). We see angels in the Bible going from Heaven to earth and back to Heaven continually to minister to the needs of God’s people. The angels minister to our needs even as we serve God during our lifetime here on earth. Whatever your ministry is now, it will be expanded in the future as you serve God by reigning with Christ on the earth.

We know that Jesus will rule on earth for a thousand years (Revelation 20:1-10). We will be “kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth,” so we might wonder what we’ll do during that time. It might depend on the talents and spiritual gifts God has given us. It might also include some of our interests and experiences from this current lifetime. What we do know is that we will serve Jesus Christ in whatever way He wants.
