PENGABDIAN ORANG PERCAYA KEPADA TUHAN

Abstract

                   The writing of the results of this study is motivated by the thoughts of some
believers who narrow the meaning of devotion or giving of believers to God to gifts in the form
of material things only. Even though Christ redeems the believer completely, this means that
the entire life of the believer belongs to Jesus, so that all parts of the believer's life can be
dedicated to God. The biblical study of this article focuses on the Book of Philippians, because
their devotion shows that the believers in Philippi were united together and could give their
lives to fellowship with the message of the Gospel (Phil.1:3-6; 2:12) and the giving of their
possessions to God, through his gift to Paul (who was in prison) who was handed over through
Epaphroditus (Phil. 4:18). The 'giving of the Philippian church' based on what is written in the
book of Philippians is very clear. The Philippians' giving to God is not only material but also
in the form of surrendering their lives to God, namely their fellowship with the Gospel message
and their obedience to God's Word. Specifically in terms of material gifts, these gifts had been
given by the Philippians, not just once but many times, to Paul who was in the service of God's
work.
