Topic : LIVING TO PLEASE CHRIST
What does it mean to please the Lord ???
• Pleasing God means trusting that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him diligently and it means believing in his son Jesus Christ and Savior and allowing him to lead you in all that you do.
• Christianity is not a religion but a lifestyle
HEBREWS 11:5-6
HOW CAN I PLEASE GOD?
1. Obey God
•We need to follow what the word of God says, and that is to obey God in all that we do.
Matthew 28:20
1 John 2:5
Luke 11:28
2. WORSHIP GOD
•One of the main reasons that God created man was so that we will worship Him. It is not that God cannot do without us worshiping Him. Doing so is for our own good.
•Worship not only pleases God but is an excellent weapon for defeating the enemy. When we worship, God fights on our behalf and causes us to walk in victory. Worship also opens up doors for supernatural breakthroughs in our lives.
Matthew 4:10
John 4:24
3. HAVE FAITH IN GOD
•The Bible says without faith, it is impossible to please God We need to believe that God is real and that He rewards everyone who passionately seeks Him. If you want to please your Heavenly Father, start by acknowledging that He is real.
•Believe that God is in heaven. He loves you so much that He gave up His only Son to die on the Cross for you. Believe that God will fulfill His promises in your life, and when the time is right, we will be united with Him.
Hebrews 11:5-6
4. BE SPIRITUALLY MINDED
•God is a spirit, and to connect with Him and become Christ-like, we need to be spiritually minded. That is why God gave us the Bible. The words written in it are spirit and life. When we study the Word and meditate on it, our minds are transformed, and we become spiritually-minded.
•A spiritually-minded person focuses on the things of God. Their quest in life is to please their Heavenly Father.
Romans 8:6
