Jesus responded to unbelief and fear of man by boldly preaching truth that offended those whom others feared. He told his followers they should not merely use his name to grow churches but should do what he did by speaking difficult truths. When Jesus' followers feared man rather than God, he condemned them, saying they were like snakes and brood of vipers. Paul similarly had no fear of man and aimed only to please God, not humans, with his preaching.
Jesus demonstrated what it means to serve others and the early Church demonstrated what it means to serve each other. If we call ourselves Christians, then we become servants to others.
