For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. — Galatians 1:10 KJV
Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ. — Galatians 1:10 NIV
Reflection on Today's Verse
This message is really important today because people often want to fit in and be liked by others. It tells us Christians that our main duty is to follow God’s will and His calling, not just do what everyone else thinks is right or important. This reflection brings to light the inner conflict that we believers may face in balancing our faith with the desire to be accepted by others. It tells us to keep believing strongly in our faith even if others don’t agree or understand it.
