Topical Encyclopedia
The concept of being "pleased" in the Bible often relates to God's satisfaction or approval of certain actions, offerings, or individuals. It is a state of divine favor and acceptance, reflecting alignment with God's will and purposes. The term is used in various contexts throughout Scripture, highlighting the importance of living in a manner that is pleasing to God.

Old Testament Context

In the Old Testament, the idea of being pleased is frequently associated with God's acceptance of sacrifices and offerings. For instance, inGenesis 8:21, after Noah offers burnt offerings to the Lord following the flood, it is written, "When the LORD smelled the pleasing aroma, He said in His heart, 'Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from his youth. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done.'" Here, the "pleasing aroma" signifies God's acceptance and satisfaction with Noah's offering.

The Psalms often express the desire to please God through righteous living and worship.Psalm 19:14 states, "May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer." This verse underscores the importance of internal and external actions aligning with God's standards to be pleasing to Him.

New Testament Context

In the New Testament, the concept of being pleased is closely tied to faith and obedience.Hebrews 11:6 emphasizes the necessity of faith to please God: "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him." Faith is foundational to a life that pleases God, as it reflects trust and reliance on His character and promises.

The life and ministry of Jesus Christ are central to understanding what pleases God. At Jesus' baptism, God expresses His pleasure in His Son: "And a voice from heaven said, 'This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased'" (Matthew 3:17). This divine approval highlights Jesus' perfect obedience and fulfillment of God's will.

The Apostle Paul frequently addresses the theme of pleasing God in his epistles. InRomans 12:1, he urges believers to offer their bodies as living sacrifices, "holy and pleasing to God," as an act of spiritual worship. This call to holiness and transformation is a key aspect of living a life that pleases God.

Practical Implications

For believers, the pursuit of a life that pleases God involves aligning one's actions, thoughts, and desires with His revealed will. This includes living by faith, practicing obedience, and cultivating a heart of worship and gratitude.Colossians 1:10 encourages believers to "walk in a manner worthy of the Lord and please Him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God."

Ultimately, the concept of being pleased in the biblical sense is about seeking God's approval and favor through a life of faith, obedience, and devotion. It is a call to live in a way that reflects God's character and purposes, bringing glory to His name.
