III. TO PLEASE THE LORD, WE MUST LIVE A LIFE OF LOVE
And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.
And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave commandment. I John 3:22-23 NKJVAnd walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma. Ephesians 5:2 NKJV
Let all that you do be done with love. I Corinthians 16:14 NKJV
IV. TO PLEASE THE LORD, WE MUST LIVE A LIFE OF SEEKING THE LORD
. . . He (God) is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him (God).” Hebrews 11:6 NKJV
“And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13 NKJV

V. TO PLEASE THE LORD, WE MUST LIVE A LIFE OF SERVANTHOOD
Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men.” Philippians 2:5-7 NKJV
“For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake.” II Corinthians 4:5 NKJV
