The Bible repeatedly warns us of being a “man-pleaser.” Paul logically concludes in Galatians 1:10, “Am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.” The two are diametrically opposed. First Thessalonians 2:4 says we have been “entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not as pleasing men.” Proverbs 29:25 warns us, “The fear of man brings a snare, but he who trusts in the LORD will be exalted.” And why do we ignore God and seek to please man? John 12:43, “[We sadly] love the approval of [man] rather than the approval of God.”
