How do we know God has called us to serve?

Believers can ascertain their call to serve by recognizing the gifts and grace God has bestowed upon them. As expressed in Philippians 1:7, where Paul speaks of being 'partakers of grace,' this collective experience in the community affirms each member's role in serving one another. The call to service is not isolated; rather, it is connected to the body of Christ as we hold forth the Word of Life and contribute to building up the church. The active engagement in ministry and the resulting spiritual fruit further validate our calling.
