A Hidden Life Commended by the Lord

Whose approval are you really looking for? Yourself? Others? A voice from the past? We are often tempted to compare ourselves with others in an effort to find something in ourselves worthy of commendation. Yet, when we do so we stray from our gospel hope in Jesus Christ. There is only one place where commendation is certain, and the approving face of a loving Father is sure to shine. We find the commendation of our Lord by grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone. In Christ, you have all the approval and commendation you’ll ever need so you are free to live a hidden life of love and humble service toward others without comparison.
