How do we know God's approval matters?

The importance of God's approval is underscored by the life of Elijah, who, although empowered by God, fell into despair due to the fear of human disapproval—specifically from Jezebel. This serves as a reminder that God's approval is paramount, and our calling is to act in accordance with His will regardless of human response. As Matthew 10:28 cautions, we should not fear those who can kill the body but rather Him who can destroy both soul and body in hell, further affirming that what God thinks of us is crucial.
