DO YOU KNOW THAT IT IS BETTER TO PLEASE GOD THAN MEN?
Galatians 1:10
"Well, do I now seek the favor of men, or that of God? Or do I try to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a servant of Christ."
This question is very interesting for Christians in today's world, a key question for our testimony and lifestyle, do I now seek the favor of men, or that of God? The Bible warns us that if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature and old things pass away and now all things are made new; which indicates that if we have decided to follow Christ we no longer seek the favor of men but that of God; for as the verse says... if he still pleased men, he would not be a servant of christ
Many people fatten his ego and feel satisfied when the men of the earth praise him. However, we Christians feel joy when we decide to please God rather than men.
Indeed before when we walked in the things of this world; that is, pleasing the world and practicing the things that this current system imposes on us, we did not please God, since he who has been born again through the word of God seeks every day to please God in the source or the rock that is Christ Jesus, who has opened our eyes to see the source of his glory and power
Acts 5:29
29 —It is necessary to obey God before men!
(New International Version)
The ancient apostles also said that it was necessary to obey God before men because Jesus came to this world to save humanity, he came to give us what no one could do for him.
Pleasing the current world does not bring us blessings or salvation and does not allow us to see the light of Christ because we really walk in darkness; but when we decide to seek God our life, our actions change and we access the spiritual world through the grace of God and discover our purpose and a new identity that tells us that we should only please the eternal God
