The life that pleases God
Carmen Ray-Calvo
SUMMARY: To please God, we must seek reconciliation with Him, separate ourselves from sin, and live in obedience to His word. He does not require a price for forgiveness, but only our love. We must do justice, love mercy, and humble ourselves before Him. The Apostle Paul preached a gospel that gives all glory to God. Our greatest desire should be to honor God in everything we do and live a transformed life by His spirit. When we please God, even our enemies will be at peace with us.
The word please means to please, please, please. When someone is pleased with another person he feels completely satisfied otherwise he feels unpleasant, sad; disappointed.
For God to be pleased with us we must take an interest in reconciliation between man and his God. And keep in mind that sin does not please him, and from which we must separate ourselves if we really want to please him. God is not pleased with a false religiosity, nor with a partial obedience. The word of God tells us that the contrite and humbled heart will not despise you, O God. (Psalm 51:17)
