How do we know that believers are called to love and serve God?

Answered in 1 source

Believers demonstrate their love for God through obedience and service, as taught in Scripture.

The Bible repeatedly emphasizes that true love for God is illustrated through our actions and obedience. In Romans 6, Paul explains that being freed from sin means becoming slaves to righteousness. This change signifies that believers no longer belong to themselves; they have been bought at a price and are now called to serve Christ faithfully. Additionally, the concept of serving God is coupled with the idea of loving our neighbors, which reflects our love for God in practice (Romans 13:10). The apostolic greetings often affirm this by identifying the writers as slaves or servants of Jesus Christ, evidencing that servitude to Christ is integral to the believer's identity in light of their salvation.
