God calls us to live radically transformed lives. He does not save us because of our good works; He saves us for His good works. Our belief in Jesus is the first step in becoming true disciples of Christ. We recognize our human inclination towards sin, but we will never use that as a justification for deliberate disobedience to God and His Laws. Romans 6:1-2

We serve a giving God. There is nothing more apparent in Scripture than the generosity, grace, and gifts of God. He delights in giving. Since we are created in His image, strive to be Christ-like, and are continually working on conforming to Him, we should delight in giving as He does. 

God set an example of servant leadership in the Person of Jesus. We see this most profoundly when Jesus washes the feet of the disciples. He showed us what it means to lay yourself down for another person. It is evident that to truly embody the call to follow Jesus, we must seek to serve others and meet the needs of the body as often as we are able. (Matthew 20:28)
