Paul was wrongly accused of seeking to please men, but it was the Judaizers who compromised the Gospel out of fear of man. Paul feared God, not people, and boldly upheld the truth of salvation by faith in Christ alone. Elizabeth Giles and Monika Walker explore how the fear of man distorts truth - and how we’re called to live to please God, instead of man.

When this is the day you find yourself convicted by your sinful fear of man, take heart. We are not without hope. We are not slaves to sin—we are slaves to Christ. And because Christ conquered sin on the cross, we can come to Him in sorrow, confess our sin, renew our minds with the truth of His Word, and put on righteousness.
