The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe.
Proverbs 29:25 ESV
It's one or the other. You either live by the opinions and seeking the approval of mankind - or by the ways of God and seeking to please Him.
The two are opposed to each other so you cannot live both ways - you must choose.
It's either live in the ways of this world and in seeking to please it's unseen rulers that supply it's power, pleasure and riches - or you bow the knee to the One True King of all whose name is Jesus and be part of the eternal kingdom that He is building.
On one hand is death, and the other is life. The choice is yours alone...
