Whom Do You Serve?

Whom Do You Serve?

“For do I now persuade men, or God?

Or do I seek to please men?

For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.”

Galatians 1:10

This sketch-style piece captures the tension every believer must face: the pull of human approval versus the call of obedience to Christ. On one side, the crowd reaches upward—voices demanding allegiance, praise, and conformity. On the other, a solitary figure kneels beneath the weight of the cross, choosing surrender over applause.

The imagery is intentional and layered. The crown of thorns, the open Word, and the cross stand illuminated above—reminders that truth does not shift with opinion. The path of discipleship is narrow, costly, and often lonely, yet it leads to true freedom and eternal purpose. This piece invites quiet self-examination and courage to stand firm when obedience requires sacrifice.

Designed in a charcoal, hand-sketched style, this artwork is meant to feel raw and reverent—an honest reflection of the inward battle between pleasing people and serving God wholeheartedly.

“Obedience to Christ is worth the cost.”
