There are times when you will have to make a choice between pleasing God and pleasing those around you.
As important as it is to strive for good relations with others, it is even more important to maintain a steadfast and obedient relationship with Christ.
Disobeying God to keep peace with other people is never wise. Peace with God is always paramount.
There might even be times that obedience to God will set family members at odds with each other (Matt. 10:35-36).
When you follow Jesus’ lordship, your family may misunderstand, or even oppose you, yet your obedience to God reflects your identity as His child. God does not intend to divide the home, but He places obedience before domestic harmony.
