Vocation, however, is never isolated from occupation -lifework. This is the dimension of faith which needs emphasis today when spirituality is often reserved for religious spheres of activity. All realms of life are under Christ's lordship, and are part of His saving purpose. Thus, all areas of human activity are potentially meaningful areas of work for the believer- on the condition that they are consistent with the character and purpose of God in Christ . Since the servant style is characteristic of disciple life, those occupations with a strong service dimension are particularly appropriate.
Faith is expressed in love and service, in word and deed .
Serving is the Christian's response to God's grace. Because salvation is more than a private matter, it becomes salt and light and leaven, visibly demonstrated in the world. Jesus modeled serving. He demonstrated that loving servanthood is an alternative kind of power-more powerful than hostility and more convincing than force. Following Christ's example, His servants model a new humanity.
