Galatians 2 tells us about how Peter was a people pleaser. When the crowd changed, his actions changed.

  ¹²For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.

 As if his actions would change his acceptance by God! No way....

 ¹⁶Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified....

 ²⁰I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

 ²¹I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
