Every believer wants to live a life that is pleasing to God.
As soon as we receive salvation and the power of the Holy Spirit in us, our inner man wants to live for God who through Christ has saved us.
The word of God gives us the faith to live for the one who saved us. For without faith it is impossible to please God.
We can not please God with our own strength but through the grace of His son Jesus Christ.
Here are some of the Bible verses that will help to live the life that is pleasing to our God:
