A deepening understanding that we are Christ’s bondservants should be part of our motivational structure (see Luke 17:7-10). It can draw us away from the folly of trusting in people more than trusting in God. “Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind and makes flesh His strength, and whose heart turns away from the Lord. . . . Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord” (Jeremiah 17:5, 7). It is a fundamental spiritual blunder to be more concerned about pleasing people than about pleasing God, and to be more afraid of human disapproval than divine disapproval.
