Your purpose is to please God

“Our purpose is to please God, not people. He alone examines the motives of our hearts” (1 Thess. 2:4 NLT).

Please God as a servant of Christ

“For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.” (Gal. 1:10 ESV)

Please God with your faith

“And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.” (Heb.  11:6 ESV)

Speak to please God

“But just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not to please man, but to please God who tests our hearts.” (1  Thess. 2:4 ESV)

Keep His commandments and do what pleases God

“And whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him.” (1 John. 3:22 ESV)

Therefore

“When a man's ways please the Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.” (Prov. 16:7 ESV)
