Living Bible
Micah 6:7-8
For if you offered him thousands of rams and ten thousands of rivers of olive oil—would that please him? Would he be satisfied? If you sacrificed your oldest child, would that make him glad? Then would he forgive your sins? Of course not!
No, he has told you what he wants, and this is all it is: to be fair, just, merciful, and to walk humbly with your God.
Romans 8:3, no flesh nature can ever please God, yet by God in belief of risen Son Jesus we are freed Romans 8:1 the culmination of Chapters 6,7 of Romans
Stopping my own selfish work(s) to get what I need, not seeing my needs by God are already provided, even in my adversities

14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.

Galatians chapter 5

Walk in the Spirit.
Downfall for lot of people is walking in the flesh. It can't please God.

Christian people repent and try not to sin.
Romans chapter 6

Your either servant of righteous or servant of Sin. No middle ground.

As Father continues to work with each of us to see to learn how to in humility just trust God to take all sin away in and through us in risen Son for us, at least me thank you Father and Son as Won (One)

our praising, praying, good works, trust, faith, communication with the Holy Spirit, Jesus & God, our Christian intent attending church, i believe, all please the Lord. it's what He said & taught. Phillipians 2:13 teaches: "for it is God which worketh in you both to will & to do of His good pleasure".

The flesh works

“Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5:19-21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

the spirit

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5:22-23‬ ‭KJV‬‬

we have to choose the spirit and follow the spirit in order to put the deeds of the flesh to death

“Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:12-13‬ ‭KJV‬‬

it’s a choice we have to make to follow the flesh and it’s lusts or the spirit of Christ which bears fruit

“And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5:24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

We have a choice to make

“Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey;

whether of sin unto death,( flesh )

or of obedience unto righteousness?”( spirit )
‭‭Romans‬ ‭6:16‬ ‭KJV‬‬

If I’m serving satans Will which is sin I’m following the flesh and need to repent , if I’m serving Gods Will obeying the gospel I’m walking in the spirit

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”
‭‭John‬ ‭6:63‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. ( free to choose ) ….This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5:13, 16‬ ‭KJV‬‬

That is amazingly what God does for each person that chooses to believe God in risen Son for them as risen to them.
Whoever is not willing from themselves, do not see and will not see until one, anyone is willing sincerely between God and themselves. And it is a long journey into (Not figuring it out) understanding God did it for us and one who does not quit finally sees it humbly
Thanking God above it all to see this amazing love of Son done for us all.
God Won by Son as One (Won) for us all on that cross to give new life to us the people in his risen life, who sincerely stand in belief in not using this grace for any self gain.
God knows us all, whether we are in or out by our own set standards, one, anyone might interpret from scriptures, not seeing the whole picture, put together, to gather us under Father's wings. Wow, what mercy, amazing to me, knowing I, to this day do not deserve this miraculous gift given me and many others also, as well as many on the way to see this humbly as well
I am blown away, by this amazing grace.
Thank you Father ands Son as Won (One)
