The bible says that when we go to heaven we will be made like Christ. Our opinions and actions on earth won't even matter anymore. We will be so happy that serving God will not even be a big deal it will just be natural as we give thanks to The One who has saved us from eternal damnation. So don't sweat it sweetie, if you make it to heaven you won't be able to help yourself!

That is exactly why we are here in this material world, because we don't want to serve God, we want to be God ourselves, we want to served.
Our original nature as spirit soul is to be eternal servants of God.
By nature we are pleasure seeking , when we forget God or when we don't want to serve God, we are force to serve someone else. The president serve the Nation, the husband serve the wife or vise verse, the employee serve the master, if we don't work , no family, then we get a dog and become a dog servant. Even if we don't have anybody we have to serve ourselves, we become slave of our mind and senses, slave of our stomach. We only can be happy by serving our original master.

Sure you can, honey. Serving God is the most rewarding work you can do. Sometimes we think that serving God means going to Africa and being a missionary. No, it could be that you are kind to a suffering person, or you bake a cake for the new family down the road. God knows your interests, He made you girl. You will love whatever He wants you to do. When you serve God, He blesses you back. He is not greedy toward His children. He delights in giving you your hearts desire. God Bless.

He isn't anyone. But he is God. Serve him out of love but the Bible may use the term "slave" sometimes to emphasize your obedience to his commands like a slave would do. There are lots of symbolisms in the Bible and you got to make sure that you don't take everything literally, find the right translation and it may help you understand more clearly.
It isn't he that will kill you in the end, but Satan and sin.
Take this as an example,
There is light and there is darkness.
Apart from light you have darkness and apart from darkness, you have light.
So same thing applies, if you aren't of God, then you would be of this world and of sin. It is sin that God condemns and since if you remain in it you also will be condemned.
It isn't God that kills you, but satan always trying to make you sin.

whoah! ur making it seem like hes an evil dictator, think of it more as hes offering everyone on earth a present, that present is eternal life in heaven, and its ur choice whether to take the gift or not, and if u do decide to accept the gift, then he hopes that u would live a life for him (since he did make u and all) but its not like chores or labor ur doing for him, its putting ur faith in him, taking care of the body that he made for u, worshiping him (which could just be playing a sport, singing, drawing, writing, praying, basically using the body he gave u) its pretty easy, and seems like a good bargain to me!

hmmmm thats an odd way to put it
i wouldnt say that we are slaves to God he created us to have a relationship w/us he loves us so why would we be slaves?
a slave is someone whos forced into work unpaid and unloved where as Christ paid the price to love us all we have to do is be obedient which isnt a hard thing to do at all we arnt working for God simply living for God and its amazing

To serve God is not to be his slave. If you truly love God, following his commandments is not an act slavery but an act of love.
When Christ came to earth he said: I'm paraphrasing here, "I come not as a master but as a slave."

As jesus came to serve in His humility we also are called for this purpose and it would be prudent to do so as we will recieve much grace and an opportunity to save someone( pass it forward)
