So was the apostle Paul a "people pleaser"? Definitely not! He lived to please God. He also did not live for his own pleasures, but rather to do God's will. His desire to "please people" was rooted in a desire for their salvation, not a desire for their acceptance.
How do we act toward others? Do we live in a manner that would draw them to Christ? Are we aware of how our choices are effecting the opinions of others about Jesus. Paul was really clear on this principle. He knew that living to please God would result in drawing others to Christ.
Who has come to know Jesus because of us? Who are we hoping to share Christ with today?
