How can you...?

"That’s why it is hard to see how true faith is even possible for you: you are consumed by the approval of other men, longing to look good in their eyes; and yet you disregard the approval of the one true God." John 5:44 Voice version. Believe? How can you, when you are busy seeking the approval of men. Do we really believe these two things are so completely opposed that one can cancel out the other? Yeshua is the one who said it, so we should pause and see what He is saying.
