How do we know that we are to serve God as deacons?

The role of a deacon in the church is not a result of human decision but is rooted in the doctrine of the new birth. Just as the families of the Levites were chosen by God, so too are we, as believers, called to specific responsibilities within the church. The New Testament reinforces this, showing that each member of the body of Christ is given gifts and roles according to God's sovereign will (1 Corinthians 12:11). Thus, our ability to serve arises from our identity as born-again Christians, and our assignment is part of God's divine purpose for His church.
