Be Pleasing To God

My Goal for Everyday of My Life – TO BE PLEASING TO GOD

And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. – Hebrews 11:6

Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” John 14:21

Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ Mark 12:29-30

* How are Christians to be pleasing to God? BY FAITH…by being obedient to His commands; obedient because you believe Him.
* You believe that what God commands is what is best for you…believing that what God commands is out of an incomparable love for His children.
* You believe that His ways are far greater than your own.
* You believe because He is faithful. You are obedient to His commands by faith and because you love Him.
* You love Him because He first loved you. Christ Jesus went to the cross save His people from their sins (Matthew 1:21).
* Man’s greatest sin is not loving and not believing God…so Christ did indeed go to the cross so that we could love Him. AMAZING!

Brothers and Sisters in Christ, make it your goal to be pleasing to God every day of your life.
