1. Why does God have anything to do with us?

2 Corinthians 5: ¹⁹What we mean is that God was in Christ, offering peace and forgiveness to the people of this world. And he has given us the work of sharing his message about peace. ²⁰We were sent to speak for Christ, and God is begging you to listen to our message. (CEV)

1 Peter 1: ³Praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is so good, and by raising Jesus from death, he has given us new life and a hope that lives on.
1 Peter 4:¹⁰Each of you has been blessed with one of God's many wonderful gifts to be used in the service of others. So use your gift well. (CEV)
3. How does God expect us to use our gifts?

Hebrews 6: ¹We must try to become mature and start thinking about more than just the basic things we were taught about Christ. We shouldn't need to keep talking about why we ought to turn from deeds that bring death and why we ought to have faith in God. (CEV)

Matthew 20: ²⁸The Son of Man did not come to be a slave master, but a slave who will give his life to rescue many people. Ephesians 6: ¹⁰Finally, let the mighty strength of the Lord make you strong. ¹¹Put on all the armor that God gives, so you can defend yourself against the devil's tricks. ¹²We are not fighting against humans. We are fighting against forces and authorities and against rulers of darkness and powers in the spiritual world.

So I beg you to offer your bodies to him as a living sacrifice, pure and pleasing. That's the most sensible way to serve God. (CEV)
