Are You Pleasing to God?
God has revealed His nature to man for man to learn, and to know and fear Him, that man may love God with all his heart. This love and fear of Him rightfully belongs to Him, though He seeks these things out of the free will offering of one’s own heart. Have you truly considered God in your heart — really considered? How holy is God? Do you really know? Can one be pleasing to God if one does not know what pleases God? Again — how holy is God?
Lesson 1:
Do You Really Know God?
“This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him there is no darkness at all.”
-1 John 1:5
Lesson 2:
Do You Really Love God?
In this lesson, we will try to examine our own hearts. Be honest with yourself, “Do you really love God?” Many will say they love God, but in words and actions they deny Him. Some do not truly seek to know what He has asked of man. Can one love God and not seek to know God? Some do not obey what they already know of the Lord’s word. Can such a one be pleasing to God? As Jesus said, “But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord’ and not do the things which I say?” (Luke 6:46)
Lesson 3:
Do You Really Have Faith in God?
Many men will say they have faith in God, but really have faith in men, church, family, or self. We should examine ourselves to see if we are in the faith or not. Do you really seek God, or are you really seeking a church or something other than God?
