I am on my way to Jerusalem
Paul's journey to Jerusalem is significant in the context of his mission. Jerusalem was the center of Jewish worship and the early Christian church. This journey is mentioned inActs 19:21 andActs 20:22, where Paul expresses his determination to go despite knowing the risks involved. Historically, Jerusalem was a city of great religious importance, and Paul's visit underscores his commitment to unity between Jewish and Gentile believers. Archaeological findings, such as the remains of the Second Temple, provide insight into the city's significance during Paul's time.

to serve the saints there.
The term "saints" refers to the believers in Jerusalem, highlighting the early Christian practice of referring to fellow believers as holy or set apart. Paul's service involved delivering a collection from the Gentile churches to support the impoverished believers in Jerusalem, as mentioned in1 Corinthians 16:1-4 and2 Corinthians 8-9. This act of service was a tangible expression of the unity and love within the body of Christ, fulfilling the call to bear one another's burdens (Galatians 6:2). It also reflects the early church's commitment to caring for its members, a principle rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(25)But now.--Before very long, I hope to pay you this visit, but for the present I am bound for Jerusalem, in the service of the Church, to convey the alms collected in Macedonia and Achaia for the poorer members of that community. In reference to this contribution, comp.Acts 24:17;1Corinthians 16:1,et seq.;2Corinthians 8:1-2;2Corinthians 9:1,et seq.

Pulpit Commentary

Verses 25-27. -But now I go to Jerusalem ministering unto the saints. For it hath pleased (εὐδόκησανα, implying good will) Achaia and Macedonia to make a certain contribution (κοινωνίαν, intimating thecommunion of Christians with each other, evinced by making others partakers of their own blessings; ofRomans 12:13;2 Corinthians 9:13;1 Timothy 6:18;Hebrews 13:16) to the poor of the saints which are at Jerusalem. As to this collection for the poor Christians at Jerusalem, which St. Paul seems to have been intent on during his journeys, and which he was now on the point of carrying to its destination, cf.Acts 19:21;Acts 24:17;2 Corinthians 8:1 - 9:15.It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister (λειουργῆσαι; here in the general sense ofministry; see on Romans 13:6)to them in carnal things. Here we have the same idea of salvation being derived to the Gentiles from the Jews as is prominent inRomans 11:17, 18, and apparent inRomans 15:7,seq.
