Please God

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:

• Tested
• Heart

But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.

For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

• Walking

That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.

Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.

Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!

When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
