For His Good Pleasure

Starting a blog is something that I having wanted to do ever since I came to Cornerstone Bible Institute. A place to share thoughts of what God had been teaching me through His Word and circumstances that He brings into my life to conform me into the image of His dear Son. I hope that this blog would even be a blessing to those who read it!

The past few months as I have been studying, verses have been standing out to me that talk of what brings God pleasure.

"Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created." - Revelation 4:11

God created us for His pleasure!

"Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved." - Ephesian 1:5

God saved us for His good pleasure!

"For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure." - Philippians 2:13

God works in and through us for His good pleasure!

"Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him." - Hebrews 10:38

It brings God pleasure when we walk by faith!

"The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy." - Psalm 147:11


Is your life bringing God pleasure?
