Bible Question: What should a person do to please God so that God will allow that person's soul to go to heaven (have eternal life) as opposed to sending that soul to hell (eternal death)? |
Bible Answer: Hi welldigger, Welcome to the forum. You ask about pleasing God. Hebrews 11:5 says that Enoch was pleasing to God, and it was because of his faith; just as Hebrews 10:38 says that "My righteous one shall live by faith." Here are verses that talk about pleasing God. Hebrews 11:6, "And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that (He) is, and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him." Learn to know this Man, Jesus Christ and set your mind on the Spirit and spiritual things. Romans 8:8, "...and those who are in the flesh cannot please God." 1 Thessalonians 4:1, "Finally then, brethren, we request and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that, as you received from us instruction as to how you ought to walk and please (God) (just as you actually do walk), that you may excel still more."
