"Study to shew thyself approved unto God." — 2 Timothy 2:15
There is a verdict the world cannot give and cannot take away.
Every soul longs to be approved — to be seen, weighed, and found acceptable. But the applause of men can never satisfy: the crowd cannot see the heart, and what it praises today it forgets tomorrow. Scripture sets before us a higher and unshakable ambition — to be approved unto God.
Taking as its key the Greek word dokimos — the tested coin that rings true, the gold that comes forth from the refiner's fire — A Man Approved of God traces the biblical theology of divine approval from Genesis to Revelation. In four unhurried movements it opens up:
Yet this is no counsel of self-made righteousness. The approval of God is grounded first and last in His free grace, in the One in whom every believer stands "accepted in the beloved." Here is a book that calls the reader away from the fear of man and the love of applause to the single verdict that will still stand when all others have passed away:
"Well done, thou good and faithful servant."
Written in the King James tradition and rich with Scripture, this is a searching, pastoral study for every Christian who would set the approval of God above the approval of men.
