Believing in him
We cannot serve God unless we believe in him. This is the only true foundation of serving him. Therefore the believing in God as reconciling the world to himself through Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:19), the believing in him as a loving, pardoning God, is the first great branch of his service.
