Obviously, I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant. Galatians 1:10

 This verse is from the New Testament of the Bible, specifically from the book of Galatians 1:10.

 It highlights the importance of serving God rather than trying to win the approval of people. Paul, the writer of the letter to the Galatians, emphasizes that as a servant of Christ, his goal is to please God, not people.

In the context of this verse, Paul is addressing the issue of those who were advocating for the Gentile converts to the Christian faith in Galatia to be circumcised, a requirement for Jewish converts, and to follow Jewish customs. Paul, however, was advocating for the Gentiles to be accepted into the faith without such requirements, as he believed that salvation comes through faith in Jesus Christ alone and not by works of the law.

This verse is a reminder to all Christians that our ultimate goal should be to please God, rather than seeking the approval of others. When we focus on pleasing people, we can easily become swayed by the opinions and beliefs of those around us, and our faith can become diluted. However, when we seek to please God above all else, we remain steadfast in our beliefs and remain faithful servants of Christ
