ACC ~ Ephesians 6 v6

SERVING GOD THROUGH SERVICE TO PERSONS. AMBROSIASTER: It is on account of their reverence for God that they are called to demonstrate here and now their faithful and just service to persons. As they serve God by their service to earthly masters, they look toward the day of judgment, when all will be requited and all brought to final justice. EPISTLE TO THE EPHESIANS 6.8.

IN SERVING FREELY FROM THE HEART ONE IS NO SLAVE. CHRYSOSTOM: Serving Christ comes “from the heart and with good will.” The goal is not merely to serve sincerely and do nothing wrong. It is rather to serve with all one’s might. Paul does not call servants simply to do what is barely due but to serve abundantly out of ardor, not from necessity. Serve on principle and by choice, not under compulsion. If you serve freely in this way, you are not a slave. If your service comes from your free choice, from good will, from the soul and on account of Christ, you are no slave. HOMILY ON EPHESIANS 22.6.5-8.
