Abundant Life in Obedience by Faith


1 Thessalonians 4:1-2 
1 Finally then, brethren, we urge and exhort in the Lord Jesus that you should abound more and more, just as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God; 2 for you know what commandments we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

Hebrews 11:6   But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Pleasing God, giving Him the glory and honor due only to Him, not ourselves or others, this is what we should live for.  His word tells us how; we need only seek out each thing and by His Spirit's enabling read and study to walk it out in life.  This is becoming like Jesus, our goal to imitate as it is written in 1 Corinthians 11:1, "Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ."
