First, let’s look at the word ‘attributes’, what does that mean?
Attributes: “A quality or feature regarded as a characteristic or inherent part of someone or something.”
Now let’s take a look at the attributes of pleasing God. In order to operate in the deed or participate in the act of an action of that understanding, one needs to comprehend the full meaning and understanding of that statement presented. So the statement “Please God/Yeshua/Jesus”, let’s also look at the first word ‘please’. The word please means to take ones own wishes into consideration in deciding how to act or proceed, where the word ‘one’ can be replaced with the word God, Yeshua, or Jesus. So, the word please in this sentence would refer to the object of the statement, which would be God. So the meaning of the word please would read as follows: “To take God’s own wishes into consideration in deciding how to act or proceed in life.” For example, let’s look at Enoch.
Turn in your Bible to Hebrews 11:1-6:
1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. 4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. 5 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.
So, from these verses, what are the attributes that we can gain? The attributes would be:
1. Faith
2. Belief on God
3. Hope
Now these are some of the attributes that we found first, now let’s turn in your Bible to Ephesians 2:7-10:
7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Out of these versus we get these attributes:
4. Grace
5. Kindness
6. Walk
Now let’s turn to Mark 9:22-29
22 And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us. 23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. 25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him. 26 And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead. 27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose. 28 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out? 29 And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
From these versus we can deduce these attributes:
7. Compassion
8. Prayer
9. Fasting
As we move on, let’s look at Matthew 15:22-28:
22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. 23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. 24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. 26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs. 27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table. 28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
So, from these versus the one key attribute worth a cause to action in Yeshua Jesus is:
10. Worship
So, now we have 10 of the most important attributes of how to please God/Yeshua/Jesus.
In my conclusion, listen to the true voice of God, follow the attributes and you can please God. Thank you and bless the name of our God.
