"Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverance and awe......"
The writer here calls for a response from the recipient of the gospel, the offering up of acceptable service to Him. In other words, the call for the believer to be charged with domestic duties, as well as religious and spiritual administration for the service of believers. This acceptable service is to be with done with "shamefastness", an old English word meaning modest, shy, or bashful, even the point of being shamefaced or full of shame, ministering before the Lord. Many come filled with self confidence and pride, rather than reverence and awe.
