What A Wonderful Desire; To Please God!

The desire of the heroes of the faith
It should also be our desire

If You Desire To Please God, You´re In he Right Place

This Is A Study In Pleasing God

The Impossibility of Pleasing God Without Faith

But without faith it is impossible to please Him

The basics in pleasing God are prohibited without faith

Salvation by faith   Ephesians 2:8-9  Romans 5:1
Answered prayer is through faith   James 1:6-8

Religious Activity does not always please God

Faithless religious ceremonies do not please God
Faithless giving does not please God

This verse proves two great facts:

It is possible to please God
Faith is available to all   John 3:16

What Is Faith?

It is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen Hebrews 11:1
It is believing God and accepting His invitation

The Ingredients of Faith That Pleases God

We must believe that God exists

It is one thing to pray, and another to believe God hears
It is one thing to worship, and another to believe it´s accepted

We must believe God rewards those who diligently seek Him

Faith that pleases God is more than profession   James 2:14

Real faith changes lives   2 Corinthians 5:17

See how the lives of these people of faith were changed

Faith made Abel worship God
Faith made Enoch walk with God
Faith made Noah work for God

The Invitation to Faith That Pleases God

He that cometh to God must believe

An invitation in the middle of Hebrews 11:6

God continually invites us to faith in Christ

This invitation reminds us of   John 6:37

An invitation to come to Jesus
Assurance that He receives all that come to Him

Conclusion

Here Is An Invitation To Eternal Life

An invitation apart from works
An invitation apart from religious ceremony
an invitation to come as you are to Jesus

Come In Faith And God Will Be Pleased To Accept You

Our Loving Lord Will Not Turn Anyone Away
