Scripture Post #572: *SERVANTS*

Ephesians 6:

5 Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;

6 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

7 With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:

8 Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.

Commentary Within Brackets:

Ephesians 6:5: "Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh ["…According to the flesh…," because in reality/spiritually, GOD is our Master. But in the sense of our flesh-bodies on earth, our employer would be our master.], with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ [In your work-service, serve as unto CHRIST, instead of your employer.];"

V. 6: "Not with eyeservice [serving to be seen or noticed], as menpleasers [attempting to please man, when the focus should be on GOD]; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart [Is your heart in your service? It should be.];"

V. 7: "With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:"

V. 8: "Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free [Gal. 6:7: "…Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."]."
