Pleasing the Lord

When a man’s ways please the LORD, He makes even the man’s enemies live at peace with him.

…so that you may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord and may please Him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,

Am I now seeking the approval of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.

For it is God who works in you to will and to act on behalf of His good purpose.

A soldier refrains from entangling himself in civilian affairs, in order to please the one who enlisted him.

Those controlled by the flesh cannot please God.

And without faith it is impossible to please God. For anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.

Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth.
