The Bible teaches that true service to God involves humility and a willingness to follow His call unreservedly.
Scripture emphasizes that serving God requires a mindset of humility and self-denial. In Luke 9:57-62, Jesus illustrates this through examples of individuals who expressed a desire to follow Him but were hindered by their own self-confidence and earthly attachments. The Lord instructs us that a genuine servant's heart is cultivated through trials, which remind us of our dependence on Him and the need for His grace. Therefore, true service to God involves recognizing our limitations and trusting entirely in His direction.
