“向主”含示我们是主的产业,我们已经属于祂;“为主”含示我们仍属于自己,且照着我们的喜悦或方便。

All who believe in Christ, belong to Him, and have His life of service and sacrifice should take Him as their pattern by learning to be slaves, loving God, the church, and God's people; with such a love as our motivation, we need to be slaves sacrificing and serving—Mark 10:42-45; Phil. 2:5-8; Gal. 5:13; Eph. 5:2; Rom. 1:1.
