Reasonable Kingdom Service
Romans12:1 (NLT) And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice – the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him [this is your reasonable service].

Understanding the significance of the Good News of Jesus and that everything about Him is for our benefit is plenty reason to make the sensible decision to live a life of service to God. Will we be able to enjoy our life? Sure. There will be challenging times, but it will be a more vibrant life that belongs to God. Life without Him won’t amount to much and it won’t have a future. Apart from God – we have nothing to offer His Kingdom or His people. However, being connected to God means all that is His is ours, and everything we do in service to Him pours back into His Kingdom by drawing more of His creation unto His will. For all that God does for us – this is our reasonable Kingdom service.
