WHAT PLEASES GOD IS GENTLENESS

Romans 8:13-16    The true children of God are those who let God’s Spirit lead them.  And the Spirit himself joins with our spirits to say we are God’s children.

Eph 4:13 … We must become like a mature person, growing until we become like Christ and have his perfection.

Eph 4:30-   And do not make the Holy Spirit sad.  The Spirit is God’s proof that you belong to him.

Eph 5:10-18  Try to learn what pleases the Lord.  … So be careful how you live.  …So don’t be foolish but learn what the Lord wants you to do.

Romans 12:2  Do not be shaped by this world; instead be changed within by a new way of thinking.    

           Then you will be able to decide what God wants for you…what is good and pleasing to him.

 1 Tim 5:8 (niv) If anyone does not provide for his relatives,  especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

Heb 12:28  So let us be thankful…    We should worship God in a way that pleases him…

Heb 13:15-16  So through Jesus let us always offer to God our sacrifices of praise, coming from lips that speak his name.  Do not forget to do good to others, and share with them, because such sacrifices please God.
