From the Heart

"5 Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ; 6 not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, 7 with goodwill doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men, 8 knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free. 9 And you, masters, do the same things to them, giving up threatening, knowing that your own Master also is in heaven, and there is no partiality with Him" (Ephesians 6:5-9; NKJV).

Whether we are wives or husbands, sons or daughters, bondservants or masters, we are to serve Christ...

1. In sincerity of heart (6:5)

2. Not with eyeservice (6:6)

3. Doing the will of God from the heart (6:6)

4. With goodwill (6:7)

If we are obedient to our Master who is in Heaven, we will receive good from Him (6:5-9).
