"For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His." (Heb 4:10).
Are you trying your best to please God by your behavior, dear friend, you cannot please God like that even for a million years from now. Why? God has clearly expressed in His word that only through faith He can be pleased and it is impossible to ever please Him without it (Heb 11:6). What is faith? Faith is a heavenly tangible substance of things hoped for which then becomes the present evidence of things not seen that gets gifted to be within us from God, when we choose to hear the voice of God through the Word of God and other million means through which He speaks constantly (Heb 11:1; Rom 10:17). Faith cannot be produced by human striving because it always comes from God as a gift of God to those who seek Him (Eph 2:8).
For every one who believed in Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord to have become the people of God now, there is a way of life which pleases God immensely that makes God favor you with His heavenly rest on earth itself. It is the living way of believing the promises of God and living by faith in it. The Bible is full of promises that God has gifted his children as His own written love letter to them to have faith and please Him in all things.
So my question to you today is, how many promises that are in the Bible you have believed and personalized it to yourself in faith to please God? Do you want to live pleasing to God which has eternal value or just live pleasing yourself or others around you which has no eternal value at all. The greatest life you can live on earth is to live a life pleasing to God and thus get rewarded on earth itself by entering in to His heavenly rest and refreshing of heaven. So I better tell you not to try to be pleasing to God by your works, but please God simply by faith. If you try to please God by works, the wages of it are not counted by heaven not as grace to be given freely, but as debt which must be sorted out by the standard of heaven which operates by God's righteousness to be repaid back to you (Rom 4:4). Remember, no human on earth can first give to God and ever demand it all to be repaid to him because all humans are indebted to God, they can only live by grace and not by law at all (Rom 11:35-36). Have faith in God, and all will be well with you and your family!
PRAY WITH ME SAINTS:
Dear Heavenly Father, I praise you and thank you for your gift of faith that you have given us through your Word and Spirit. Help me grow in faith more and more, so that I might be fully blessed to be a blessing. In Jesus mighty name! Amen.
Much Blessings....
"Faith is the beginning and the end of the journey of all humans, because it comes from God and goes back toward Him making our lives pleasing to God. Faith is our victory over sin, self and Satan. Faith makes us aware of the world to come whose author and finisher is God Himself, which then makes us not to become conformed to this present world which is temporal but rather become transformed for the world to come which is eternal!" — Abraham Israel
