Romans 8:8
8Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God.
8Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God.
We cannot, by our efforts, please God because of our spiritual condition -- our unholy attitude toward a Holy God. The Gospel, however, calls for a new way of life lived in the aftermath of Jesus's own offering of His life. The Holy Spirit, God Himself, comes to actually dwell in our individual bodies (we are individually and collectively, as the Church, 'God's temple', 1 Cor. 6:19-20) and thus the new and living way that was made possible by Jesus's death and resurrection becomes a reality for us who believe and look to the Son for life and leading. Therefore, to please God is to live by faith -- and only this faith pleases Him, because only Spirit-led minds, hearts, and wills actually live worshipfully before Him ('in Spirit and in Truth'; Jn. 4:23-24).
