False Reasons to Serve:
1 Legalism; afraid not to, think it's required
2 Serve bound to do it or God will make life miserable for them
3 Prestigue; want reputation, lord it over men, lead
4 Because they want to be thought righteous, religious or godly
5 Peer pressure; everyone else doing it & won't be accepted if they dont. Or Forced to, perhaps by parents, Or intimidation.
6. Money. They use Jesus as a comodity.
There's others. But it's external, functional and going through the motions. They only serve in the flesh.
God only accepts and is in service that is done by God through the believer. A believer may do it with wrong motives, abd needs to fight off emotions and bad & improper motives as we serve Christ, but the unsaved always do it with wrong motives in sin, and it is void and useless.

"For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of His Son."
Marks of True Spiritual Service
Christians serve because of LOVE and are GIVERS not seeking recipiently to get something out of it. They even accept being wronged or misunderstood, since they know they're doing this "unto the Lord" as "a living sacrifice to Him". He sees us, his faithful servants, and will reward us. 😊✨️✝️
