“Winning the Approval of Mankind or
of God Almighty?”
Do you think
I am trying to make people accept me?
No, God is the One I am trying to please. Am I trying to please people? If I still wanted to please people, I would
not be a servant of Christ. Galatians
1:10
Many people
go through life trying to PLEASE everybody.
One thing I have learned right from the start is that you CANNOT PLEASE
everybody that may cross your path and enter into a segment of your life. If you try to PLEASE EVERYONE you will soon
find out that it is TRULY IMPOSSIBLE. It
will only cause you great distress.
The Apostle
Paul, in his letter to the believers in Galatia, is telling them that IF they
think he is trying to get people to ACCEPT him they are sadly MISTAKEN. To Paul the ONLY ONE whom he was trying to
PLEASE and ACCEPT him was the ALMIGHTY GOD.
He wasn’t concerned about winning the approval of mankind as much as,
winning the approval of God, the ONLY ONE who REALLY MATTERS. The ONLY ONE who we will give an account to
at the end of time. The ONE who will
determine our destiny throughout eternity.
The Apostle
Paul, says that if he still wanted to PLEASE people, he would NOT be a servant
of Christ. There is NO WAY that you can
PLEASE EVERYBODY and SERVE CHRIST. He is
RIGHTEOUS and HOLY, mankind is NOT, unless they have come to Him with a TRUE
REPENTANT HEART, and have CONFESSED their sins to Him, SEEKING His FORGIVENESS,
and BELIEVING with ALL their HEART that Jesus died for them, and is ALIVE in
Heaven, making intercession for them, before God, then they ACCEPT His gift of
SALVATION, and become a GOD PLEASER, and DON’T fret about being a PEOPLE
PLEASER. Do it NOW, while you still
can. He’s waiting and coming SOON!!!
