We can be selfish with our gifts/service, but Jesus didn’t come to be served but to serve; to give his life as a ransom for many. His grace toward us should compel us to give ourselves away in service to one another. But we can’t do this alone. Without the power of the Holy Spirit we are left to serve only ourselves. Once we are freed by the Gospel, we can feel the love God has for those around us and begin to die to ourselves and serve others.
