Why is it important for Christians to serve others?

In Acts 20:35, Paul reminds the elders of the words of Jesus: 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.' The act of serving and giving is not just a duty; it is a reflection of our transformation through grace. As Christians, we recognize that we are initially all 'takers' of God's abundant grace, but having received it, we are called to express that grace through service to others. This service can manifest in many ways—feeding the hungry, visiting the sick, or comforting the distressed, all of which Jesus identifies with Himself. By serving others, we not only fulfill the law of Christ but also participate in the loving ministry He exemplified.
