The only way that you can ever please God is by faith. If you have faith in God and His Son, be assured that God is working in you what is well-pleasing in His sight through Jesus Christ. But without faith, it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is (Hebrews 11:6).
Faith pleases God, because God is the one who gives you faith. It is by the grace of God that you are saved through faith. For by grace are you saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God (Ephesians 2:8). That faith comes to you through the word of God. So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17).

Faith is an abiding gift from the Spirit of God. You receive faith from God the Father, through the work of the Holy Spirit in your heart. It is anchored to the good news of Jesus Christ, who died for your sins and was raised from the dead. That's good news known as the gospel of Christ.
Faith is not just mental assent nor human effort. It is a result of the Holy Spirit bringing you to a point of confidence, assurance, and trust in the living God. It's faith that the world didn't give you, and the world can't take it away. Faith pleases God, the faith that He works in you. For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure (Philippians 2:13). God pleases Himself as He works in you.
