How do we know that serving others is essential in Christianity?

Answered in 1 source

Serving others is essential in Christianity because it reflects Christ's own mission of service and sacrifice.

Serving others is a fundamental principle found throughout the New Testament, notably in the teachings and example of Jesus Himself. In John 13, Jesus washes the feet of His disciples, demonstrating that true greatness lies in serving rather than being served. This aligns with what He proclaimed in Matthew 20:28, where He describes His own mission as coming to minister and to give His life as a ransom for many. The Apostle Paul's writings further emphasize that believers are to use their gifts to serve one another in love, which is central to living out the Christian faith.
