Pleasing God Not Man

Galatians 1:10 (KJB) For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

By Faith Eternal Dividends Accumulate

Hebrews 11:5-6 (KJB) By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Does Your Life Have These Perpetual and Pleasing Ingredients?

Hebrews 12:14 (KJB) Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.

These two ingredients, peace and holiness, are often found to be absent, or at least greatly diminished in the lives of many professing Christians today.

Peace and holiness, or having “spiritual zest,” is a crucial element in living a new spiritual life. These spiritual components come only through possessing a personal relationship with God. ...

You Will Likely Taste Death

By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. (Hebrews 11:5 KJV)

Enoch did not taste death. You and I will surely face physical death. Unless, of course, Jesus Christ returns before the onset of our natural death.

The Bible says Enoch was translated:

“By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see ...
