Question

Christians, what are some specific examples of things that please God?

Answer 1

What is worship? Worship means “to give honor, homage, reverence, respect, adoration, praise, or glory to a superior being.” God demands worship because He and He alone is worthy of it. He is the only being that truly deserves worship. He requests that we acknowledge His greatness, His power and His glory. Revelation 4:11 tells us, “You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created.” God created us, and He is a God who will not be usurped. “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me” (Exodus 10:3-5). We must understand that God’s jealousy is not the sinful envy that we experience, born out of pride. It is a holy and righteous jealousy that cannot allow the glory due only to Him to be given to another.

God expects us to worship Him as an expression of reverence and thanksgiving to Him. But God wants even more than that. God also expects us to be obedient to Him. He wants not only for us to love Him; He wants us to act justly towards each other, to show love and compassion to others. In this way, we present ourselves to Him as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to Him. This glorifies God and is our “reasonable service” (Romans 12:1). When we worship with an obedient heart and an open and repentant spirit, God is glorified, Christians are purified, the church is edified and the lost are evangelized. These are all the elements of true worship.

God also desires that we worship Him because our eternal destiny depends on our worship of the true and living God. Philippians 3:3 describes the true church, the body of believers in Jesus Christ whose eternal destiny is heaven. “For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.” In other words, the church is uniquely identified as God’s people, but not through physical circumcision. The church is made up of those who worship God in their spirit rejoicing in Christ, and not trusting in themselves for salvation. Those who do not worship the true and living God are none of His, and their eternal destiny is h**l. But the true worshippers are identified by their worship of God, and their eternal home is with the God they worship and adore.

God demands, seeks and requests our worship because He deserves it, because it is the nature of a Christian to worship Him, and because our eternal destiny depends upon it. That is the theme of redemptive history: to worship the true, living and glorious God.

When we honor our Lord living an obedient and holy life.  When we study the word of God and carry in in our heart and prove it with our actions.  When we have the fruit of the Spirit which is mentioned in Galatians 5:22-23...  Love, joy ,peace, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, self control: against these things there is no law.  

When our fruit is so good as what is mentioned above...I believe we are walking in the Spirit and the Lord can greatly use us.  

God bless!  

Answer 8

Nothing we do displeases God.  .I take an enormous ego for anyone to think they have the power to anger or offend God.  God bless

Answer 9

The Bible says true religion is taking care of widows and orphans, so I guess that would please God. Then there was Enoch who "walked with God" and, apparently, was so pleasing that God "took him", i.e., translated him right into Heaven.  God said that Jesus was His beloved Son, "with Whom I am well-pleased".

But probably the shortest and BEST answer is Micah 6:8, "He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God".

Answer 10

Praise, Worship

Answer 12

To do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly before Him.
