Serve One Another by Love

Galatians 5:13
“For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.”

Christian liberty is one of the most misunderstood gifts of grace. Paul is clear: freedom is not permission for self-indulgence; it is empowerment for service. Revival restores this balance by reminding us that true freedom expresses itself in love given away.

Service is love made visible. It translates belief into action and doctrine into devotion. A revived heart does not ask, “What am I entitled to?” but “How can I help?” Love that serves does not wait to be noticed; it moves quietly toward need.

Serving one another guards the church against consumer Christianity. When believers approach church primarily as receivers, relationships thin and unity weakens. Revival reverses this posture. The question becomes not what the church can provide, but how each believer can contribute.

Service also humbles us. It places us in positions where recognition is unlikely and gratitude is not guaranteed. Yet God sees. Revival teaches us to serve for His approval, not human applause.

Sunday is a fitting day for this reminder. Worship that pleases God always flows into obedience that blesses others. Singing praises without serving people leaves worship incomplete.

Ask God today where love should move your hands. Who needs encouragement? Who needs help? Who needs presence more than words? Revival sends us into service not as obligation, but as joy.

Love that serves builds a church that reflects Christ—who loved us by laying Himself down.
