God's Glory Church

Have you ever wondered how your life pleases God? Throughout the Scriptures we learn how we can use our lives to please God. In fact, we were created for God’s pleasure.

Since we have received new life in Christ and experienced God’s grace, we should strive to please God. Since He has given us everything in life, we must give Him everything that we are.

The writer of Hebrews tells us about two different ways to please God. The first way is described in Hebrews 13:15. The author says that our first sacrifice to God is glorifying Him. This is what the Bible calls “worship.”

Worship is orienting our whole life to live in awe of who God is and what He has done for us. We can worship God not only with the songs we sing, but also with the way we live.

Hebrews 13:16 tells us another way to please God: to love others. When we love others, we reflect the love that God has for them. This is why it matters how we treat people.

Our actions are a reflection of how God has loved us. And since God loved us, we must do good to those around us.

These are the two ways we can please God – by worshiping Him and loving others. This is similar to what Jesus calls the greatest commandment in Matthew 22:36-40. He sums it up by telling us to love God and love others. We love God by worshiping Him and glorifying Him. We love others by doing good to them and sharing with them.

And how do you manage to love God and love others? Do you spend time each day in scripture and prayer praising God for who He is? If we do not love God first, we cannot truly love the other people in our lives.
