When You Please God

You please God by faith. That is confidence and trust in God. It's not faith in your faith. Rather, it's confidence in the promises of God. The promises of God are found in your Bible. They are covenant promises that are steadfast and sure. Here is a promise for you. So, you see, it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that there is a God and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him (Hebrews 11:6, NLT).

You please God through the prayer of faith. The foundation for prayer is the promise of God's good will. It's coming to God and receiving from his goodness. God is a very loving, compassionate, and kind Father. He is not reluctant to do good things in the lives of all of his children. No good thing does he withhold from his children. You please God by faith in the goodness of God.

You please God your Father by faith in his ability to do good things in your life. Believe his mercy and grace. Understand that you are not on a merit system in God's family. Grace is his unmerited favor. Your Father in heaven loves you and wants to do good things in your life.

You please God your Father with confidence through Jesus Christ. Come to God your Father in prayer, through the name of Jesus. When you please God by faith, know that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.
