It is possible to please God
And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect. Genesis 17:1
It is possible to please God, if it were not possible God would not have instructed Abraham to walk with Him perfectly. To be perfect is to be faultless. Many assume that it is impossible to please God. A natural man can not please God until He is with the Spirit of God.
God instructed Abraham to walk upright. He did fulfilled God instructions. If it worked for Abraham, it can work for you. You might have posed this question “how did Abraham pleased God by walking perfect?” Abraham, by whom many of us considered as the Father of Faith, was able to please God by having a strong faith in the Lord. The word of God has often times affirmed that without faith you can not please God. Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” For you to please God, you must believe and have faith in His promises.
Because of Abraham Big Faith in Him, He imputed Abraham’s faith to righteousness. Romans 4:3 ”For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.”
To please God is to be righteous in His ways, which can be achieved through faith. You can not please Him by your works but by faith.
Romans 4:5 “But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.”
Dear reader, am glad you are aware that it is possible to please God through faith. It is possible to be Holy and perfect by faith not by your works.
Conclusion:
It possible to please God, and this can happen only through faith. Your faith in Him is righteousness.
