So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
Romans 8:8
It is natural in families to see parents show more affection to the child who makes them happy. A story is told of a family with two boys. The younger son from childhood was gentle, humble, obedient, and respectful, while the older son was self-willed, stubborn, disobedient, and troublesome. Although the older son performed better academically, the younger son received more love and care from their parents because he made them happy. The parents’ attitude toward the younger boy was so obvious to the older brother that eventually he changed from his rebellious lifestyle.
Like these earthly parents and children, God expects everyone to try to please Him. When Jesus is baptized in the Jordan by John the Baptist, the Spirit of God declares: “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased.” (Matthew 3:17)
Do you want to make God happy? You cannot please God if you live in sin. To make God happy, surrender to Him.
