Pursue the glory of the Lord more than praise from men

John 12:37-50
They could not believe, because  prophet Isaiah said," He has blinded their eyes and deadened their heart, so they neither see with their eyes...nor return, and I would heal heal them."
Some leader among they believed in Jesus, but because of the Pharisees they would not confess their faith for they love praise from men more than praise from God.
Jesus came to the world as a light, so that no one who believes in him should stay in darkness.
As for the person who hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save it.
There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; that very word which I spoke will condemn him at the last day.
Why?
The Lord knows some of them would not believed in Jesus, for their hearts are hardened, they insist their own, they proud to  themselves for their own mind. It is the people themselves who stop up their ears.
Since Father and Son are one, Isaiah, in his vision of God in the Temple.
No one believes in him should stay in darkness, if he still in darkness it means he is not really believed in Jesus.
Jesus is love, his blood shed for us, his life exchanged our dead life to eternal life. Jesus conquers the dead so as we can be victory to the dead also.
Love praise from man or the Lord, depends on what we saw and believes in.
How?
Pursue the glory of the Lord more than praise from men. When I change my mind then my action would changed also.
