James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ,
To the twelve tribes in the Dispersion: Greetings. (James 1:1)

The fundamental Character of the Christian life is that of Servanthood modeled after Jesus.

1. Have the mind of Christ to Serve.

Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the
interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
(Philippians 2:4-11)

2. Use your God-given authority to Build Up people up, not tear them down.

For even if I boast a little too much of our authority, which the Lord
gave for building you up and not for destroying you, I will not be
ashamed. (2 Corinthians 10:8)

For this reason I write these things while I am away from you, that
when I come I may not have to be severe in my use of the authority
that the Lord has given me for building up and not for tearing down.
(2 Corinthians 13:10)
