How do we know that obeying God is more important than pleasing people?

Answered in 1 source

1 Thessalonians 2 teaches that we cannot be servants of Christ while seeking to please men.

In 1 Thessalonians 2, Paul emphasizes that our exhortation should not be about pleasing men but about being pleasing to God. He rhetorically asks how one can persuade God for He does things purposefully. The essence of true service to Christ involves prioritizing divine approval over the transient praise of men. This scriptural truth reinforces that the fear of disappointing people should never overshadow our commitment to follow God's commands.
