Every believer wants to live a life that is pleasing to God.
When we receive salvation and the power of the Holy Spirit, our inner man desires to live for God who, through Christ, has saved us.
The Word of God builds our faith to live for the One who saved us. For without faith it is impossible to please God.
We cannot please God by our own strength, but only through the grace of His Son Jesus Christ.
Here are some Bible verses that will help us live a life that is pleasing to our God.
