Q&A for How to Please God

Faith is meant to be blind, in a sense. There is air, but we cannot see it. It is not proven, but for many it is just a constant, not a question.

All of the Bible is a guide to pleasing God. Just follow his teachings and you will surely please him.

Make sure you know what the gospel is. It is a gift of Jesus: his love, sacrifice, and readiness. Learn to hear his voice and follow him. The most important part of the gospel is knowing Jesus. I recommend four things: first, get a mentor who will walk with you as you grow. Second, become a mentor; Jesus said go and make disciples. Focusing on one or two people who you will help grow is the best way to learn. Third, become a part of a small group that's studying the Bible, especially the book of John. Finally, live your life in gratitude. Remember that it's a gift.

Jesus is there for you all the time. Never lose faith. All of Jesus' promises are real. Keep reading your Bible regularly and attend a church or other faith-based congregational setting to share the faith with others. Talk to an ordained priest or minister regularly for guidance. Connect with other Christians to find support, online and in your local area. Keep trying, you'll find it soon enough.

Don't be scared of something you have no way of knowing is true. Accept that he may be false, and accept that he could be real. Just be a good person so even if he is real, he will have nothing against you. It is okay to question such a complex subject.

As a husband you can't force her to do what you think is right. However, there are a few things that you can do, like praying for her, setting an example by following God yourself, understanding her and her doubts, taking her to a counselor or a priest to answer her questions, not judging her, and forgiving her. You are her husband and you should do what you know is right and leave her to make her own choices.

People unintentionally displease God by sinning, just like Adam and Eve did. Humans have been displeasing God by choosing temptations over patience for centuries. Temptations lead to addiction, sin and guilt. If we try to please God, the path that we follow keeps us close to righteousness and we stay guilt free, and find ourselves. It should be practiced to be understood better.

Man does not know it. Jesus knows and he will act on his knowledge. We are told to work and think in obedience. We are given the Bible to learn from, from Abraham, Moses, Paul, and so forth. If you listen carefully, you will hear his command. Try being quiet for a while every day in the presence of Jesus.
