Being a Servant

What does it mean to be a Servant of God?

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men,since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. Colossians 3:23-25

There are 3 parts of the Hebrew word -servant

Servant
•Ayin-Looks like an eye
•Bet-The floorplan of a house
•Dalet-door

Our job as a servant is to be looking around God's kingdom (his house)
to see how we might serve Him.

That leaves Dalet which means door. 

These servants were marked!

then take an awl and push it through his ear lobe into the door, and he will become your servant for life. Do the same for your maidservant. 

Deuteronomy 15:17

Servants had an awl pushed through their ear and into the door post.
Ouch that would really hurt!

We too are marked! And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit.

Ephesians 1:13

Jesus is called the door! We must enter through Him to have the privilege of serving.

Once we enter His door we are His servants. 

Look around and see-

Where can you serve?
Who can you serve?
How can you serve?
