Pleasing God We live in a promiscuous society. Anything goes, and the motto is, “If it feels good, do it!” Young people are told, “Don’t let anyone put limits on you…follow the appetites and desires of your heart…no-one can tell you what to do…we are a free society…” However the believer in Christ must remember that this is not the way of life for one who is saved. The reminder is, “What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). We are not to please ourselves, but the Lord, by living according to the moral standard He has given in His Word. The world has a standard, but it is far below God’s standard. “Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more” (1 Thessalonians 4:1). It is said of Enoch, “he had this testimony, that he pleased God” (Hebrews 11:5). Wouldn’t you like that commendation as well?
