“MAN’S APPROVAL?”

by Mary White
S--Galatians 2:16 “Know that a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ.”

O--Paul was correcting Peter who was teaching Gentiles to follow Jewish laws.

A-- It is interesting to see that even a great Apostle like Peter could occasionally be lured to please men instead of God. Paul set him straight. Gal 1:10 says “…if I were still trying to please men I would not be a servant of Christ.” We please God when we accept His free gift of salvation by faith and realize that we cannot earn it.

P--God, thank you for taking upon Yourself all our sins that we might be set free. Help me want to please You more and not to seek the approval of man.
