Christians are called to serve others and we all need
inspiration and biblical reinforcement for what we do.
Whether that is volunteering for the local church or
serving as a church employee, we all need to be reminded of what
the Bible says about serving others.
Here are 15 Bible verses that speak to God’s purpose and
expectation for us to serve others. I pray this inspires you!
1. “God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and
the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help
them.” Hebrews 6:10
2. “Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who
waters will himself be watered.” Proverbs 11:25
3. “The greatest among you will be your servant.” Matthew
23:11
4. “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure,
pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap.
For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Luke
6:38
5. “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served,
but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Mark
10:45
6. “Each one should use whatever gift he has received to
serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.” 1 Peter 4:10
7. “Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to
what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one
another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your
spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in
affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with God’s people who are in
need. Practice hospitality.” Romans 12:9-13
8. “So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to
everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.” Galatians
6:10
9. “But love your enemies, and do good, and lend,
expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be
sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil.”
Luke 6:35
10. “I have shown you in every way, by laboring like
this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus,
that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Acts
20:35
11. “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus
for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”
Ephesians 2:10
12. “Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you
were working for the Lord rather than for people. Remember that the Lord will
give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is
Christ.” Colossians 3:23-24
13. “And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when
you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing
it to me!’ Matthew 25:40
14. “Feed the hungry, and help those in trouble. Then
your light will shine out from the darkness, and the darkness around you will
be as bright as noon.” Isaiah 58:10
15. “Each of you should give what you have decided in
your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God
loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so
that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound
in every good work. As it is written: ‘They have freely scattered their
gifts to the poor; their righteousness endures forever.” 2 Corinthians 9:7-9
