What is wrong with trying to please God?
God can be displeased with us....doesn't it make sense that He can be pleased with us too when We show His love to the world?
Yes without faith, you can't please God but still I believe when we do good works because we have faith in God and His love for us and the world....then God is pleased.

YOU say you do works because you love God.
Do you not say that?
Well, I certainly DO love God.
I do works to keep Him happy.
Jesus said I was to do certain things.
Like Love my neighbor.
"Well, I certainly DO love God.
I do works to keep Him happy."
If I am the only one who sees just how wrong this statement is, I will be disappointed.
~Heb 11:6 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.
I do works to keep Him happy."

Oh my word.
If that's the case then I need to rethink about the relationship I have with God and the one he has with me.
God says "Work to make me happy"
I say "What will keep you happy"
He says "Work hard, be sinless, let your good deeds outweigh your bad deeds and maybe on judgement day I will let you in"
Sounds like another religion to me.
Crap, If I have to work to keep a god happy then I have no chance.
