At the heart of Christianity lies Jesus’ second greatest commandment to love one another. Service is the natural expression of this love. It is the tangible way in which believers demonstrate their commitment to God and their fellow human beings.
 
Service is not merely an obligation but a joyful response to God’s love. It reflects the selflessness of Jesus Christ, who came not to be served but to serve.  As Christians, we are called to emulate this example, humbly serving others without seeking recognition or reward.

Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.

– 1 Corinthians 15:8 (ESV)

Service is not only beneficial to those being served, but also to the one who serves. Engaging in acts of kindness, mercy, and compassion cultivates a spirit of humility and empathy within the believer. It fosters a deeper understanding of human suffering and the interconnectedness of all people. Through service, Christians are transformed as they become more Christ-like in character.

For The S.A.L.T. Connection, our call to service extends beyond grand gestures or occasional acts of charity. It encompasses everyday interactions and opportunities to meet the needs of others. Will you partner with us in service to the one and only Triune God?  We invite you to serve one another in humility and love by signing up to volunteer below.
