Only a believer can please God. We please God when we are justified (initial salvation), but we also please God through a sanctified life (ongoing salvation). It is ONLY through Christ's righteousness can we please God, " without faith it is impossible to please Him." But once we are saved we are to please Him by living by faith. Once we have believed in Him we are to, "believe that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him." Having been saved through justifying faith, believers are to continue to trust Him, by believing His Word, living by faith, and diligently seeking His face day by day. Once we have believed in God's saving grace through faith in Christ, we are also to believe that, "He rewards those that seek Him," as stated in Scripture. There is rejoicing in heaven when a sinner believes, but we truly please Him when we LIVE by faith. We please Him when we are not being influenced by life's problematic circumstances. If we desire to please our Heavenly Father, we are to LIVE by faith and not by sight. And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we realize how quickly and easily we can move from trusting You to doubting Your Word, when things do not go the way that we expect. We pray that like the men and women of faith in Hebrews, our trust in You will not falter. Help us to earnestly seek You day by day, for we know that only as Christ lives in and through us, by faith, can we be pleasing in Your sight. In Jesus’ name we Pray, AMEN. |
Prayer
We are a growing group of people praying daily for and with others. We were led to start an online ministry to deliver what is needed more now than ever, a place where you can go to easily to submit a prayer request or requests involving others to pray for your needs. The Power of Prayer. Matthew 18:20- For where two or more come together in my name, there I am among them. You are never alone in prayer. The Power Of Numbers Praying.
We ask you to pray for this ministry, for its success in helping others in need of prayer. Archives
