Personal Benchmarks

We hear much about benchmarks. A benchmark is “a standard of excellence [or] achievement … against which similar things [are] measured or judged.”¹⁰ There are four benchmarks that can help each of us know if our personal faith in Christ is being “made perfect” by our works. These benchmarks are:

1. 1. 
   The choices we make
2. 2. 
   The devotion we exhibit
3. 3. 
   The obedience we practice
4. 4. 
   The service we give
