God has shown his grace through Jesus Christ to the entire world. Now we have to connect to Jesus through Church. God’s plan for man’s salvation is available only through the Church.
So we the children of God must give our time and efforts to the church’s work. When we work for the church that means we are extending God’s kingdom. There are so many activities that can be found in a church and we should take part in those activities in order to bring lost souls to God’s kingdom.
Let us read and meditate upon the following Bible verses that will encourage us to volunteer in the church.
