CHRISTIANS ARE SAVED TO SERVE

TODAY'S KEY VERSE:  EPHESIANS 2:10

*  Ephesians 2:8-10 - "For by grace (unmerited favor) are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:  it is the gift of God:  not of works, lest any man should boast.  For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them."

THEREFORE, SERVE THE LORD

*  1 Peter 2:15-17 - "For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:  as free, and not using your liberty for a cloak of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.  Honour all men.  Love the brotherhood.  Fear God.  Honour the king."
*  Hebrews 12:28-29 - "Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:  for our God is a consuming fire."
