TRUE CHRISTIANS DESIRE TO SERVE THEIR LORD!

Even from the very beginning, mankind was to trust God and walk with Him in fellowship.  Unfortunately, the first man decided to believe Satan instead of God, and Adam died spiritually.  But the good news is, God, knowing that mankind would fail to trust and obey Him, offered His only begotten Son as the "payment in full" for the sins of mankind.  When John the Baptizer saw Jesus coming, the declared, "Behold the Lamb Who takes away the sin of the whole world!"  Jesus, our "Passover Lamb," died for us; believing this, are we not obligated to live our lives to honor Him?  Should we not be servants of the Living God?

*  Joshua 24:15 - And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell:  but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
