What does the Bible say about glorifying God versus glorifying men?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible emphasizes that our actions should be motivated by a desire to glorify God, not to gain the approval of men.

In Matthew 6, Jesus teaches that the core issue is the motive behind our actions—whether it is to please God or to be seen by others. This distinction is crucial for believers; we are called to let our light shine through the gospel of Christ, not through our acts of righteousness. Jesus specifically warns against performing good deeds for the sake of being recognized by others, indicating that true righteousness is found in Christ alone, not in our works.
Scripture References: Matthew 6:1-4, Matthew 5:16
